catastrophic recovery required

[David Relson]

Hi Ben,

It sounds like you're starting with a known good database, processing
the problem message, and ending with a b0rked database.  Correct?

If so, you've got something very interesting -- especially is using
bogofilter 0.93.x which uses transactions which aren't supposed to have
this kind of problem.

I would like a copy of the problem message.  Please
gzip it and send it direct to me.

I see "iris" mentioned in your post.  What OS and are you running on? 
What's the output of "bogofilter -V" and of "bogofilter -Q"?

It's time for me to start the work day.  More later.

David

P.S. You could also send a copy to Matthias.
