SQLITE testers wanted!

Greetings,

I have added a shiny SQLite 3.0.8 interface to bogofilter's CVS version
(older SQLite versions do not work, don't waste your time trying!)

The SQLite database provides a subset of the SQL standard and stores its
database in one file. It is supposed to recover automatically from
crashes and has only one persistent file on disk (after a crash you may
see an additional *-journal file that gets cleaned up automatically).

My idea is that this may resolve pains users are having with the
transactional Berkeley DB when their servers are fast and under low
load. The SQLite stuff hasn't been profiled or checked for memory leaks
yet and is /considerably/ slower than the existing Berkeley DB
implementation. If you need performance because you're under high load,
sqlite is not for you.

As it is very new and very lightly tested (it passes "make check" on
SuSE Linux 9.2 i586, that's it), I am looking for additional testers.

The tarball can be downloaded from
http://home.pages.de/~mandree/bogofilter/ and it is called
bogofilter-0.93.2.cvs20041221T0226Z.tar.bz2 - there is also a GnuPG
signature for verification of file contents.

If you test this, let me know what you got, if it worked, how well it
worked, if it didn't work. Remember to include short information about
your processor and machine type, operating system and version.

Thank you!
