Jonathan,

Interesting, but I can't reproduce the problem you report.  The message
I just sent out has script test.W.WW.sh which, according to your
discription, should show your problem, but doesn't.  The script
registers both ham and spam mailboxes and displays wordlist sizes after
each operation.  Each registration run only adds data to one wordlist,
not two.

... at least those are the results on _my_ machine.  If you get
different results in your environment, let me know so I can investigate
and determine what's happening.

Cheers!

David
