I don't know what's up with your installation, but I have never crashed using TMDA.
I took a quick look at the filter you mentioned as I'm always interested in something new. As they pointed out on the web page, the idea has been around for 25 years. Why has it not caught on? Because the ONGOING time involved and the unreliability of the filter concept. You are going to have a very important email thrown in with hundreds of spams, and you'll never find it. If you're willing to live with that, it may be the right solution for you. You may want to look around a bit because there are many of these filters that are based on scoring the content of the email.
