Jeff,

Use db_verify to check your wordlists.  Likely one is damaged, as you suspect.

If this is so, the simplest thing to do is retrain.

The alternative is to manually do the same steps as bogoupgrade.  First 
dump spamlist.db (via "bogoutil -d").  If you use "tee" to output to file 
and see what's happening, you'll be able to ctl-c if/when the dump starts 
looping.  Second, dump goodlist.db.  Then do the "awk | sort | bogoutil -l" 
sequence from bogoupgrade.

The retrain is easier, assuming you have a suitable training collection.
