Summary: Database file: sizelimit?

Initial Comment:
I've encountered following effect:

- trained spam bayes on over 20.000 spam an about 3.500 ham mails resulting in a database file about 10 MB size (each)

- automatic filtering work well enough

- but: manual declaring mail as spam / ham did not work (see attached logfile)

- nothing helps, inlcuding:
-- removing icons from outlook an reinstall them
-- removing complete outlook icons config
-- reinstalling spambayes (but reusing old database files)

- but the solution was: 
-- deleted database files
-- retrained on only 1.000 spam and 1.000 ham 
-- result: a database file about 5 MB (bayes) and 1.2 MB (message)

- everything worked again and still does

So, may there be a problem when the database file(s) exceed a specific size?

My system:
WinXP Pro, SP2
Outlook 2003
SpamBayes 1.1a3 

PS: Same problem with minor version of spambayes
