I don't think you're getting it.  Just because BDB requires that you use
transactions before it will guarantee it won't trash the database does not
mean that transactions are necessary.  All it means is that BDB does not
provide the lighter-weight options we need.  Other databases do.

Um...  Bogofilter doesn't catch signals and exit gracefully?  I just did
some grepping in the code and it looks like you're right about this.
In fact there it is in the to-do list - "bogofilter should catch common
interrupt signals".  This is hard for me to believe.
