Jonathan,

Here's a slightly more comprehensive test.  It starts with old wordlists
copied to a test directory and does the spammy and hammy updates. 
Between each step it shows the test directory so file changes can be
seen.  

Running it I see only one wordlist changing size for each bogofilter
run, though both timestamps are modified.  I'm not concerned about the
timestamps since separate wordlists are an idea whose time has passed. 
I'll take a look and see if that minor issue can be easily corrected.

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to learning if your results are comparable
to mine.

Ciao,

David
