Abigail,
Which variety of database are you using in your perl installation?
The "DB_File" module (based upon the Sleepycat Berkeley DB) is
quite reliable. (In fact, SA 2.60 demands it, won't work with any
other).
I typically run 4~5 Megabytes for a bayes_toks file size and
havn't seen that kind of problem.
Now it is the case that certain older versions of the Berkeley DB
had file locking issues on some platforms, so it would be advisable
to be sure that your DB_File module is using a reasonably new
version of Berkeley DB (V3.3 or so).
