Summary: Error loading configuration should not be fatal

Initial Comment:
There was a report of this error using the second
binary release:

SpamAddin - Connecting to Outlook
pythoncom error: Failed to call the universal dispatcher

While there is another problem that caused this error,
we should not die completely loading the config pickle
should it get screwed up.  However, as this means
spambayes will be unconfigured, we do need a scheme to
let the user know this (as we do in the few other
places where we disable spambayes due to config errors)

I have another case, but without apparent cause: 
 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "/home/mailman21/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 105, in 
_oneloop 
    self._onefile(msg, msgdata)

    keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) 
  File "/home/mailman21/Mailman/Queue/OutgoingRunner.py", line

    mlist.Load() 
  File "/home/mailman21/Mailman/MailList.py", line 626, in Load 
    self._spamdb = hammie.open(path, 0) 
  File "/home/mailman21/pythonlib/spambayes/hammie.py", line 
262, in open 
    b = storage.PickledClassifier(filename) 
  File "/home/mailman21/pythonlib/spambayes/storage.py", line 
80, in __init__ 
    self.load() 
  File "/home/mailman21/pythonlib/spambayes/storage.py", line 
98, in load 
    tempbayes = pickle.load(fp) 
EOFError 
 
it happens quite often but not always, I believe it is a concurrency 
issue (e.g. lack of locking).

The reporter just let me know that the problem was caused by
about 20 power failures over short period.  So I don't think
we can cure the cause here, just the symptoms.
