Chris, simply run a "sa-learn --force-expire" and see what you get as an 
output. If it has a problem rebuilding it may hang for quite a while, just 
let it run, it will eventually finish. When it says it could not rebuild 
then you have a (known) problem. You can then either throw the db away or 
dig (long) in the spamassassin mailing list archives for help. From your 
explanation it looks like your db is quite old and you probably added much 
more spam in its early time than later on. Then it's likely that SA cannot 
create a good delta for expiring (because it would expire much more tokens 
than it is supposed to do) and goes in a trial loop to find one. However, 
in most cases it won't find a good one. Those expire files are from such 
attempts. They took so long that the MS timeout was reached and the 
process called off. This is not a MailScanner problem, it's due to the 
expiry algorithm used in SA.
