 I think this is probably the reason.  I've run well over a 1000 messages
through as user "gerry" calling SA 2.50 via procmail while your were
working on the SA/MS compatibility problem.  If I understand MailScanner
correctly it calls SA as user "root".  root won't have the history files
that have been developed by 2.50 for user gerry.  If this is the case
then the scores will start to converge shortly since I'm running the
messages through SA both as "gerry" and "root".

Have you customised the score of any rule? Does

No, I've haven't changed any of the default scores and AWL is enabled for
both.
