*shudder*  And suffer a ~20% (or more) decrease in spam filter

There's about a year's worth of autolearned ham in that db, and I don't
have any convenient way to relearn most of that.

Never got that far;  I'm still making sure the new box is set up and
working "correctly" (ie, the same as the current RedHat box).  For
testing, I've just been feeding some test messages through the system
and seeing what comes out, as well as running

# spamassassin -D --lint 2>&1 |more

to see what might be going toes-up.

Hmm..  Just checked on this, and I don't get any errors about
Digest::SHA1.
