I spoke too soon:

Unknown general exception in 'trainthread' thread.
Line(important!)=00000003

Tried it and switched back to v0.6.0

I mainly get spam on one account, so I can't comment. What I *do* know
is I have been able to run this new version of BayesIt without
crashes, lock-up on exit, or high CPU usage.

Don't you know it! I'm sure we will all get there eventually if the
existing features are cleaned up - as is happily being done - without
introducing too many more problems. BayesIt and AVG have really kept
me out of trouble for quite a while and for that I am grateful;)
