Bug#525004: bogofilter-bdb: repeatedly breaks, demanding more log region memory

[Nikolaus Schulz <microschulz@web.de>]

Package: bogofilter-bdb
Version: 1.1.7-1
Severity: important

Hi,

from time to time, bogofilter errors out complaining "Logging region out of
memory; you may need to increase its size".  Everytime this has happened, I
have doubled set_lg_regionmax in DB_CONFIG and recovered the database, as
suggested in README.db.  Today bogofilter broke my mail processing chain again;
this time I increased the logging region from 1MB to 2MB.  I guess something's
broken here.  Maybe this is bug #510270[1] in libdb4.6?

Thanks,
Nikolaus
