It appears to be a problem with me doing a "require" versus a "use" on the
SpamAssassin code where it sets up talking to the database file Perl code.

I have added a line to the top of my SpamAssassin code to force it to load
the database file code earlier. This appears to keep SpamAssassin quiet and
gets rid of this warning.

Build 7 is up on the web site with this correction in it.

Done.

Getting this script right across different Linuxes, let alone different
Unixes (Unices if you prefer) is nigh on impossible. The latest one seems
to work pretty well though, give it a try.
