Can confirm. I had similar problems with txrep on Fedora recently, and
after finding this post I pruned my whole bayes/txrep SQL database;
after re-learning classification seems to work better again.

I guess bayes would not have been necessary, but whatever. For my
usecase it didn't matter as I'm the only user of the server.

Bit of a shame the system can't handle this "transparently" when calling
`sa-lern` for example. It already handles expire.
