[Spambayes] Spambayes causing Outlook pauses, temp image files hanging around

Spambayes (spambayes-1.1a4-070629.exe) has been successfully running on this
machine for years now, and only recently has it started to behave in this
strange manner.

The first symptom I noticed is that Outlook keeps 'stuttering' in it's
response to use input / action.  If left running, the temp directory keeps
filling up with what appears to be spambayes generated temp files such as
this:

04/30/2010  08:37 AM       123,734,033 tmp09bmk8-spambayes-image
04/30/2010  08:28 AM       123,734,033 tmp7uk-1v-spambayes-image
04/30/2010  08:34 AM       123,734,033 tmpgmei2y-spambayes-image
04/30/2010  08:25 AM       123,734,033 tmpiulrl0-spambayes-image
04/30/2010  08:31 AM       123,734,033 tmpsgswha-spambayes-image

It appears that during the time spambayes creates one of these temp files is
the same time that Outlook blocks user input.

I've uninstalled and re-installed spambayes, but to no avail.  I've shutdown
Outlook, deleted the database files, and started it up again, only to have
the same issue.

I'd really welcome some suggestions as to how I can make this stuttering of
Outlook go away, as it is very intrusive, and I really want to run spambayes
as a spam filter for my email.

Thanks in advance.
	Erik.
