lowering severity to normal

I tested 500 spam and 500 ham using the current tree as a control and the
one line workaround included above.  Each was tested with all tests (no
Bayes or AWL, but with DCC, Pyzor, and Razor plus DNSBL tests) as a baseline
and with only URIBL tests as a worst case for the timing bug.  DNS cache
was cleared before each run and -j 8 was used.  Three runs of each:

count of messages with one or more URIBL hits:

ham-old-ALL      4 4 4
ham-old-URIBL    2 3 4
ham-new-ALL      4 4 4
ham-new-URIBL    4 4 4

spam-old-ALL-   433 434 432
spam-old-URIBL  375 402 407
spam-new-ALL    433 433 430
spam-new-URIBL  402 402 405

The lack of a patch was only significant in one of three runs (the 375).

Total URIBL hits across all three runs:

ham-old-ALL         30
ham-old-URIBL       16
ham-new-ALL         30
ham-new-URIBL       25

spam-old-ALL      3527
spam-old-URIBL    2971
spam-new-ALL      3523
spam-new-URIBL    2834

So, yes, it helps, but it's only an increase of about 5% in the hit rate.
