Summary: database corruption (bdddb)

Initial Comment:
when the pop3proxy.py is run for some longish time (2
hours) the database file (DBM) gets corrupted and each
mail then contains:

X-Spambayes-Exception:
bsddb._db.DBRunRecoveryError((-30989,
        'DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error,
        run database recovery')) in __getitem__() at
        /usr/lib/python2.3/bsddb/__init__.py line 86:
return
        self.db[key]

We still don't know what causes this, but as a workaround
you can delete your spambayes.messageinfo.db file - that
file doesn't (yet) do anything important for pop3proxy, and
it's that file that's becoming corrupt.  A new one will be
created, which may eventually become corrupt as well -
again, just delete it.  You'll need to stop pop3proxy while
you delete it.

the operating system is RH 7.2 with those versions of the
Berkeley DB:
db1-1.85-7
db2-2.4.14-7
db3-3.2.9-4

sorry i didn't include this in right away with the bug report.

Which operating system, and which version of Sleepycat's 
Berkeley code (spambayes shouldn't be able to corrupt a 
Berkeley DB, so the problem is probably specific to the bsddb 
version in use)?
