Description Tim Skirvin 2003-08-01 09:27:33 UTC 
(This actually works for both Sun and Linux, at the very least.)

I recently installed the perl module DB_File on my system; this broke the
Bayesian filtering database, as the old databases were made with GDBM, and now
DB_File.pm  is loaded ahead of GDBM.pm.  

Possible solutions: create an option you could set to define which database type
you wish to use for your bayes database. This would be especially helpful for
those that are reading the database from multiple platforms.  That, or create
some conversion utilities.

2.6x requires DB_File, so there's not a problem here anymore. :)
