Greetings Tig & Greg,

You guys had me going for a moment or two.  Bogofilter is operating
according to plan :-)

Running "bogofilter -vvv" gives:

X-Bogosity: No, tests=bogofilter, spamicity=0.415000, version=0.17.2.cvs
                                     n    pgood     pbad      fw     U
"head:bogo"                          5  1.000000  1.000000  0.499830 -
"head:friend"                        5  1.000000  1.000000  0.499830 -
N_P_Q_S_s_x_md                       0  0.00e+00  0.00e+00  4.15e-01
                                        1.00e-02  4.15e-01  0.100

This shows 0.499830 scores for each of the tokens.  It also shows that
both tokens are within the min_dev interval, hence are ignored.  A
message with no scorable tokens is given robx, i.e. 0.415000, as its
score.
