MS spamassassin timeouts

[Jason Ede]

I had a feeling that it was related to bayes...

I've created a new blank bayes database (its stored in mysql currently) and it processes the batch in debug mode and requeues the emails a lot quicker than before, but MS is still hanging at

16:32:12 [3788] dbg: learn: initializing learner

I've checked the mysql processlist and there's nothing queued or locked up there.
