To have wordlist.db in /var/sifymail/etc, you can include
"bogofilter_dir=/var/sifymail/etc" in your bogofilter.cf file or you can
run bogofilter with argument "-d /var/sifymail/etc"

That is what I was doing till bogofilter-0.16.2. With bogofilter-0.16.3
one has to explicitly give the "-d" argument.

The bug is wierd and  dissapears when the code in the function
process_config_option() is carried out directly in the 
function read_config_file().

Running gdb also shows some variable corruption in datastore.c

truss -o /tmp/truss.txt bogofilter -vvv < /etc/hosts
also shows bogofilter trying to open wordlist.db twice.

The first time the correct wordlist.db is opened,
the second time bogofilter tries to open wordlist.db in $HOME/.bogofilter
(I have attached truss output)

Let me explain

1. In bogofilter-0.16.2 the function read_config_file() had few
    lines of code which has been moved to process_config_options()
    in bogofilter-0.16.3.
    Some wierd behaviour has happened because of moving these lines of
    code

    if (strcspn(arg, delim) < strlen(arg)) {
    ...
    ...

2. If the read_config_file() function is copied from
    bogofilter-0.16.2 to bogfilter-0.16.3 the bug dissapears.

Output of gdb

(gdb) s
ds_open (db_file=0x8ee <Address 0x8ee out of bounds>, count=2286, names=0x8ee,
    open_mode=DB_READ) at datastore.c:149
    149         void *v = db_open(db_file, count, names, open_mode);
(gdb) n
Can't open file 'wordlist.db' in directory '/usr1/root/.bogofilter'.

use bogofilter to evaluate mail for its probable spam status!
