There's a possibility that most of your spam is coming via a secondary server running some other version.
Nope, only one secondary, and it runs the same version of Sendmail. (Changed to 8.11.6p2 a while back, but slightly after the bayes database was already learning)
Alternatively, what's the token counts for that token? And what's the nspam and nham counts at the top of the dump?
Ok, well that first line as you probably guessed was taken from scanning an (older) spam in debug mode, so here is the relevant output from check_bayes_db, including all matches for things similiar to 8.11.6
0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: db format = on-the-fly probs, expiry, scan-counting
0.000 0 28070 0 non-token data: nspam
0.000 0 44894 0 non-token data: nham
0.000 0 102780 0 non-token data: ntokens
0.000 0 14341 0 non-token data: oldest age
0.000 0 53621 0 non-token data: current scan-count
0.000 0 52516 0 non-token data: last expiry scan-count
0.035 0 6 53544 8.11.6 0.666 23617 18961 53632 H*r:8.11.6p2 0.011 2 302 53544 8.11.6p2
