Hello Al,

Sorry for the delay in getting your message to the list.  As moderator
I only check for non-subscriber posts once per day.  I suggest you
subscribe to the list for quicker response :->

AMD Duron should be not be a problem.  The 1.0.0 rpms were built on my
Athlon running Mandriva 2006.0.

Under what sorts of conditions is bogofilter crashing?  What options
are you using in your command line?  Have you had bogofilter on the
system before now?  In the past we've seen problems with obsolete
config file options causing trouble.  We think all those problems are
fixed, but it's hard to be certain.  If there's a config file, try
using the "-C" option (no config file) with bogofilter and see if that
helps.  One can also run "strace -feopen bogofilter ..." to see how far
bogofilter is getting.

If you can gzip a core file (or two) and email it to me
(relson at bogofilter.org will do), I can take a look.  I'll be off-line
for a couple of days starting tomorrow, so act quickly (if you can).

Alternatively, someone else on the list may be aware of the problem and
have a solution.

HTH,

David
