SpamAssassin 2.50 Problems

I wonder if the problem is actually caused by the "make test" phase? What
happens if you reboot before starting using SA2.50 with MailScanner?

If not, then it sounds like a parallel threads problem in SA2.50. Hopefully
this will get caught by the SA guys fairly quickly, as it affects the "make
test" of spamd as well.
