I've downgraded to 0.92, but my /etc/bogofilter.cf has only commented out db_
options, I have no ~/.bogofilter.cf file, and I did not use any command line
options other than -n or -s.  I made no changes whatsoever to the
configuration when I upgraded to 0.93 and encountered the problem, just
upgraded and immediately tried to regenerate the wordlist db.  FYI, with 0.92,
my wordlist db is about 100MB.
