I ran with the "-b" option, and under the advanced config,
changed it from "dbm" to "pickle" for the database, saved,
and then re-ran with the "-b" option and now, when I go
to "More Statistics" I do not get an error. However, it
says that no messages have been processed. Also, on the
main page, it still says zero for all the entries (# spam,
# ham, #trained, etc).  It's almost like it is not using
the same database. Do I need to specify a path or something,
for the database file?
