If memory serves, our test framework runs gdb whenever it finds a core
file.  That being the case, a copy of bogofilter that core dumps will
give the symptom described.

Paul - do you have a bunch of core.* files in your bogofilter/src/tests
directory?

Something to try is to modify src/tests/Makefile.am so it just runs a script that
prints version info.
