Strange... rebooting shouldn't affect anything...

I had to do the same thing when upgrading from v0.4gm to v0.5.4 because I was having
problems.

Hum... after deleting the dict files, I trained normally with lots of spam/non-spam
messages (I'm pretty sure it was more than 2,000) without a problem. So I don't know
what could have happened in your case (?)
I personally find BayesIt extremely powerful, accurate, and fast (I come from POPFile,
with an accuracy of 99.6 % which required a LOT of manual tuning, had quite some false
positives, and was VERY slow...), but what it misses it *really* misses (0%, as
opposed to some mid-way value).
