Bayes not running

[Felipe Tonioli]

If you have everything listed in messages, and just still not running, check
if your upgrad did not damaged your bayes.

If you copied the old bays and upgrade then to a new version of
spamassassin, check if it wasnt damaged. SpamAssassin RC3 just damaged my
bayes.
