Stepping through the code, setup_lists() is called shortly before 
bogofilter().  Bogofilter() calls collect_words() and, right after that, it 
needs the lists.  Delaying the call to setup_lists() those few instructions 
seems very doable, though the impact seems small.  However, if it makes the 
code cleaner ...
