denyhosts 2.6 is sometimes reporting the same denied host over &
over & over again.

E.g., right now, it is reporting these hosts
        d198-53-142-15.abhsia.telus.net
        mail3.cjos.in
again & again.

I got some of these a number of months ago, then none for quite a
while, and now I'm getting them again.

denyhosts will keep on adding the host until $PURGE_DENY time has
passed (at which point it will delete all of them from $HOSTS_DENY).

Just starting & stopping denyhosts does not seem to make any
difference.

To stop one repeated hostname, I have to stop denyhosts, remove the
hostname from $WORK_DIR/hosts*, remove all but the first entry from
$HOSTS_DENY, and start denyhosts again.

Any thoughts of where to look for this bug?

I turned on --debug and see this sort of thing in the log:
