I made the mistake of interrupting an expiry run with a ctrl-C. This
had the effect of zeroing out my bayes_msgcount file, and check_bayes_db
now shows:

0.000        0       74        0  non-token data: nspam
0.000        0        5        0  non-token data: nham
0.000        0    50315        0  non-token data: ntokens
0.000        0        0        0  non-token data: oldest age
0.000        0      139        0  non-token data: current scan-count

I'd trained it on about 3500 messages, mixed spam and ham. The tokens
themselves are fine -- it's just the message count that's broken (and
currently below the threshold for activating the Bayesian filter).

Moreover, because I have fed my current mail archive to SpamAssassin
in the past, it cannot re-learn from those messages -- for the vast
majority of the messages, it concludes it has nothing to learn, and
for the remainder, I'm concerned that I'm reinforcing the existing
SpamAssassin Bayes probabilities.

How do I fix this? I don't know exactly how many messages, spam, or ham,
there have been, but if I could put in a reasonable estimate, that would
be fine. Alternatively, forcing Bayes to turn back on would do, though
possibly less desirable.
