Yes, it's normal, but not healthy... SA's expire mechanism doesn't hit
bayes_seen, just bayes_toks.

Mine's not quite as bad as yours, but my bayes_seen is 10x the size of my
_toks.

There's currently a bug slated for 3.1.0 to add expiry to bayes_seen.

Also of note, the AWL database never expires either.. That too is slated
for 3.1.0
