Appears to be the same issue I reported here
http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=4693

FWIW, I havent had a single problem since I manually disabled
copy_config.  In /usr/bin/spamd, the code reads

# always copy the config, later code may disable
my $copy_config_p = 1;

I changed this to 

# always copy the config, later code may disable
my $copy_config_p = 0;

Realize, if you do per-user configs, then you probably don't want to do
this.  But since I load all my prefs via SQL, I don't need copy_config
passing user state data around in hashes for storage, because something
in there goes badly wrong..  It may be specific to a version of perl
too, I don't really know.  Storable.pm used to be responsible for this,
and it broke me worse and more often than this does.

What OS, version of SA, and version of perl are you running... You might
want to add this to the bug report.

Thanks,
Dallas
