SpamProbe hangs indefinitely

Hi,

since yesterday or so, spamprobe hangs indefintely when parsing an
incoming message (both using receive or train). Trying to clean the
database does not work either (it became pretty large with ~140 MB or
so).
Here's a snippet from strace:

stat64("/home/alech/.spamprobe/sp_words", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600,
st_size=1468497
92, ...}) = 0
open("/home/alech/.spamprobe/sp_words", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
fcntl64(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)         = 0
read(4, "\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0b1\5\0\t\0\0\0\0\20\0\0\0\t\0\0"...,
512) = 512
close(4)                                = 0
open("/home/alech/.spamprobe/sp_words", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
fcntl64(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)         = 0
fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=146849792, ...}) = 0
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 1000})  = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 2000})  = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 4000})  = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 8000})  = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 10000}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 10000}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 10000}) = 0 (Timeout)
[...]

Any idea what might be causing this and how I could solve it?

Thx & Greetings,
