I ran the same suite of tests with 0.93.0-1, ran some 46,000 emails
through the thing with no problems. I then upgraded to
bogofilter_0.93.3.1-1_i386.deb (the submitter sent me his .deb, so I
used that one), deleted and recreated the DB files before running
anything (as the bug submitter says he did). I ran another 30,000
emails through this version, doing some 3,000 per hour. No problems.

I will now move from 0.93.3 to 0.93.5 in the same manner.

However, it is increasingly clear that the chances for reproducing the
original submitter's problems are approaching impossible. My reason is
thus: 0.93.5 ran fine on a fresh install, with the same configuration
as the submitter, it did not encounter database corruption. If I am
destroying and rebuilding the database environment between 0.93.3 and
0.93.5 then I am doing nothing different than if I installed 0.93.5
fresh. The only difference is that I had the old version installed
before. It seems highly likely that a permissions problem was the
result of the corrupt DB. Especially in light of the fact that there
has been no other person who has reported the same problem.
