------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-05-04 12:16 ------- Experiencing the same behaviour. The problem appears to be related to the bayes_toks file. In my case it grew to as much as 42 MB after some days of heavy spam processing on a busy mail relay server. The issue perhaps is that DB files don't usually shrink, but at some stage they grow too large to make DB cope with them properly. Then processes get stuck. Apparently it's those processes who are actually updating the database, not just reading it. I tried to "sa-learn" --import to rebuild the files, but that took some 30 minutes (which is outrageous even for a 42 MB file) and then dumped core. Here's the debug output from that run: debug: Score set 0 chosen. debug: running in taint mode? no debug: using "/usr/local/share/spamassassin" for default rules dir debug: using "/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin" for site rules dir debug: using "/home/hmo/.spamassassin/user_prefs" for user prefs file debug: bayes: 97217 tie-ing to DB file R/O /home/hmo/.spamassassin/bayes_toks debug: bayes: 97217 tie-ing to DB file R/O /home/hmo/.spamassassin/bayes_seen debug: bayes: found bayes db version 2 debug: Score set 2 chosen. debug: Initialising learner debug: lock: 97217 created /home/hmo/.spamassassin/bayes.lock.mizar.origin-it. net.97217 debug: lock: 97217 trying to get lock on /home/hmo/.spamassassin/bayes with 0 retries debug: lock: 97217 link to /home/hmo/.spamassassin/bayes.lock: link ok debug: bayes: 97217 tie-ing to DB file R/W /home/hmo/.spamassassin/bayes_toks debug: bayes: 97217 tie-ing to DB file R/W /home/hmo/.spamassassin/bayes_seen debug: bayes: found bayes db version 0 debug: bayes: new db, set db version 2 and 0 tokens upgrading to DB_File, please be patient: /home/hmo/.spamassassin/old_bayes_seen DB_File: copied 44520 entries. upgrading to DB_File, please be patient: /home/hmo/.spamassassin/old_bayes_toks Segmentation fault (core dumped) ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
