Never mind.  I solved my own riddle.

When running "bogofilter -f -d dir -n < /dev/null", bogofilter gets the 
directory specification first.  As the program doesn't know that it'll be 
writing, i.e. the "-n" switch, it tries to read the wordlist.  It's 
justifiably unhappy when it doesn't find one.

The fix is to put the "-n" before the "-d dir".  The "-n" tells bogofilter 
that it'll be registering words and should create the database if it's missing.

I hadn't realized that argument order mattered, so some days I'd get it 
right and some days I'd get it wrong.

Life is ever interesting ...

David
