No, I really can't see any increase over the time. It stays almost exactly at 
the same level over days and weeks.

Yes, I understand what you mean, that's a standard procedure. The problem just 
is that the problem is very erratic and I don't know if or when it could 
happen again. Should I wait one week, two, three, four before I switch on a 
feature again? I really don't want to run it four weeks without Bayes. Also, 
as you see from my local.cf, I don't have many features activated, so there 
isn't too much to deactivate. I keep it now running with Bayes on and wait if 
it happens again. Then I switch off Bayes at least as long as it took to 
repro.

I definitely agree :-) That's why I asked here, I didn't really see a good 
path of narrowing it down quickly. 
Thanks for your suggestions!
