I had this happen occasionally with the BayesIT plugin. When it
occurred. I had to kill The Bat! just like you.

Aside from that occasional problem, BayesIT worked fairly well. It
never classified spam incorrectly, but would occasionally miss new
spam until trained. Now that the spammers are adding new words to
confuse Bayesian filters, the amount of spam to be trained is
increasing. I found this inconvenient.

To make a long story short, I went back to the SpamPal that I had used
previously. I think that SpamPal's DNSBL lists filtering in
conjunction with its Bayesian and URL Body plug-ins is more effective
in intercepting almost everything. The net result is less work for me.
I also don't have the hang up problem that I did experience with
BayesIT.

The downside is that you have to run another relay and the self
contained nature of the BayesIT plug-in (easy to backup within the
bat) is lost.
