An additional clue: left behind in the relevant user's .spamassassin
directory is a file called "bayes.lock," containing only the machine name
and pid which ends up running away with the memory.  Clearly there's
something going on with DB_File and the bayes operations, but I'm at a loss
as to how to debug it further than that.  I suppose I could turn off the
bayesian learning as a temporary workaround.
