Thank you for your answer. Do you think that this large file size could be the reason why spamd silently crashed ? There is no visible lack of resources on this server (memory/cpu/disk/swap), so I wonder if should search another reason. But I cannot reproduce the crash, and spamd is running fine since I restarted it manually, without doing anything about this large bayes_seen file yet.
