I find this difficult to believe.  SpamBayes isn't doing anything  
unusual, it's just listening/writing to sockets like any other  
network-using software.  The worst that can happen is that a Python  
exception is raised and SpamBayes crashes or hangs; there's no way I  
know of that it could effect any other part of the system (other than  
collecting email, since that's done via SpamBayes).

I suspect that you'll find that the problem continues, and that  
there's a deeper problem somewhere.
