I suspect this is because you are using Python 2.4.  There were a couple of
issues with using 2.4 that have been since fixed in CVS, but were not
included in 1.0rc2 or 1.0.  If you have Python 2.3/2.2 available, try
running sb_server with that, and see if it works.  If it does, then you can
either using that Python version or use spambayes from CVS until the next
release comes out.
