   More than that, it thinks each of the *terms* is spam until told  
otherwise.  The normal export/import process would suggest you run  
export on the machine you're moving away from, then run the import of  
the new machine.  This will take care of any binary incompatibility  
issues.  This almost looks like a byte-ordering problem to me.  Maybe  
a 32-bit vs. 64-bit inconsistency?

   What architectures and operating systems are you running on each  
machine?  Do you have the opportunity to perform an export on the  
original machine, and an import (into a clean .spamprobe) on the  
destination machine?  I suspect that might resolve the situation.
