That is the risk you run when putting 0.X versions or Debian testing
into production.

I understand you don't want to bring the wrath of customers upon
yourself, and I'd assume bogofilter 0.92.8 is a good bet for now if you
have been using a version without transactions.

The trouble with that is, aside from the log size and read-only sharing
issues, we aren't aware of real problems.

The dump/reload cycle is only for those who want to switch. bogofilter
will use whatever is in the directory. If it finds an environment or log
files, it will use transactions, if neither is there, it will use the
traditional code.

<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bogofilter/> - no .debs though.
