The syntax for bayes_expiry_max_db_size does not include a '=' 
character, it should be:

bayes_expiry_max_db_size 450000

The syntax has been like this for ages, it hasn't changed for the new 
version.  What I do seem to recall however, is that the latest version 
is a bit more noisy about syntax errors in the config files.
