Sadly this is a bug with 1.0a6 (fixed in cvs).  For some time when we
recreate the 'state' object and reopened the database after saving the
configuration, the UI kept using the old shelve object & database.  One
of the 'fixes' that crept into 1.0a6 was that we now (correctly) close
the database before we reopen it.  The UI, though, keeps trying to use
that one, which is closed, and causes all sorts of troubles.

There are two solutions AFAIK (apart from updating the code): use a
pickle (I haven't checked, but I'm pretty sure that they are
unaffected), or simply restart spambayes after making any changes to the
config via the web interface.

I suspect that this is the same problem; it certainly looks like it.
