Until now the bayesian scoring and sa-learn have been working ok when
that strange phenomenon was not happening.
When the strange phenomenon was going on there were some temporary
files in ~/.spamassassin and spamassassin itself was non-functional.
"sa-learn --rebuild" wouldn't work for about a day, but after that
it fixed the database files and spamassassin (as well as bayesian
scoring inside it) started working again.
But as I said, now it's different. Now there are no external signs
of something being broken. Spamassassin works even though the bayesian
classifier doesn't (earlier neither would work) and it has been several
days this way.

As I said, there are no temporary files now, and I don't remember
their names. The contents of my ~/.spamassassin is now:
bayes_journal 138 889 -rw------- 22.10.03 15:01 warp 3980
bayes_msgcount 2 115 -rw------- 22.10.03 15:01 warp 3980
bayes_seen 991 232 -rw------- 20.10.03 14:12 warp 3980
bayes_toks 8 019 968 -rw------- 20.10.03 14:12 warp 3980
user_prefs 356 -rw------- 01.01.03 01:01 warp 3980
But sa-learn and the bayesian scorer is not working.
I have not changed anything from my part. (I can't say if the perl
installation in this system has changed because I'm just a user, not
the administrator responsible for that.)

I don't know. How do I check that?
