Oh, I see. Perhaps that's why I didn't spot the problem earlier.

Thanks. I hope there will be a 0.96.2 before some 1.00 release
candidate?

I knew you would ask this question. ;-)

Yesterday I had a crash on my fathers computer with an old copy of
Bogofilter 0.94.3 (I think this version didn't have unicode, but
unicode appeared in a later 0.94.x version). I could track it down to
the date being in some strange endcoding. I checked the same message
with my copy of 0.96.1 and it passes without crashing, so, no problem
with that message at present.

But in general, I wondered whether the atexit idea wasn't that bad at
all because the wordlist.db on my father's machine was left open, so
all subsequent attempts to run Bogofilter failed.

If I see a crash with a recent version of Bogofilter I will give you a
detailed report.
