We are training some new folks... We had an issue where part of a tag
line used by yahoo was captured from an AFF spam. We discovered in
within a very short time and pulled the rule (we do very close review
when training). During that short time, unavoidably, some rulebases
would have been compiled.

If you're describing the same issue then it's definitely fixed.

Apologies for this slipping through at all.

Thanks,

_M
