and to their documentation.  Of note are several file I/O fixes,
database locking fixes in bogofilter, and lexer fixes including a
seg-fault fix.

Caution: If upgrading from an old version and skipping several
intervening versions of bogofilter, be smart and verify that the new
version is working for you before putting it into production.
Bogofilter's developers recommend that you run a few manual command
line tests.  Use options, config files, and wordlists from your
production environment.  This will help ensure that the new version of
bogofilter is working properly.

0.92.8	2004-10-19

* Ignore 'X-Bogosity' lines in mime attachments.
* Revise lexer variables for flex-2.5.31 compatibility.

* Bogotune now warns when using '-E' to suppress ESF checking
  and non 1.0 esf values are read from the config file.
* Limit bogotune's scanning to rx values between 0.4 and 0.6.

* Fix a potential crash on malformatted input (writing a NUL byte to
  the wrong place) in the RFC-2047 decoder. Reported by Clint Adams.

* bogofilter will now properly exit with code 3 when encountering write
  errors in pass-through mode. It would use the wrong code, 2, since
  the introduction of the "unsure" exit code.

  t.bogodir failure seen, for instance, on Solaris, particularly with
  -D and redirected output.
