I just did a "bogofilter -hl" on one of my accounts where it appears that
bogofilter didn't catch any of the spam last night.  There were a whole
bunch of spammy words there that had counts in the 4 billion range.  Could
it be that if I do a "bogofilter -S" on something that hadn't actually
been marked as good in the first place, it subtracts 1 from 0 in an
unsigned int?

Here's a chunk of what I'm talking about:

Anyway, I've blown away that users .bogofilter/hamlist.* files and
reseeded it with his /var/spool/mail/foo file, and I'm keeping my fingers
crossed.

It might be worth looking into this as a possible bug.

Using vi is kind of like having sex.  The first time to use it, it's kind
of awkward, but after using for a while you start to get good at it and
enjoy it.  -- Eric Merkel
