I *think* I fixed it.

I downloaded 1.1a6 from SF, untarred it, cd'ed into the directory, and
entered this command:

amedee at intrepid:~/download/spambayes-1.1a6$ sudo python setup.py install

Since then I'm no longer seeing errors in my procmail.log and my
ham/unsure/spam folders get populated again with mails that have a
X-Spambayes-Classification header.

I didn't know about the 1.1b1 version, I'll have to look into that.
