David,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I was running the same test without the -C option, and -o had no
effect.  Do command-line arguments not override configuration file
settings?

Then -c0 should remove the 0-count tokens.  But I get

	$ bogoutil -d spamlist.db | grep ' 0 '
	a-1 0 20030128
	a-2 0 20030121
	a-3 0 20030121
