Can you give us some hints about what you are doing? Which version of Mahout, what platform and which components are a good start.
What did you need to do? How did you observe this (i.e. what did you run, on what data)? Why is this a problem. Speaking in general terms without this information, all I can say is that as a document gets longer, it is easier to classify and so certainty should generally increase. In the extreme case, take a document with one word: "window" What category should that document be in? Computers (open a new window)? Building (how to fix a broken window)? Politics (opening a window on the east)? Orbital dynamics (launch window)? On the other hand, if the document is 1000 words, you should be able to determine the topic quite accurately.
