Somehow I can think of it like that: SA didn't find user "vscan"
anymore, so created a new entry for it. And then it created all the new
learned ham/spam tokens again despite they were there already. Must
have to do with not finding it from the index or so.

It would be nice if pg_dump would FAIL on such a broken database. Like
this, I would have become informed about the problem. The bayes db
isn't quite interactive, and SA seems to ignore errors. The reason I
found it was that our SPAM filter started to let spam through which did
not happen for years (yes, we have *very hard* anti spam settings, our
customers love it that way - no spam). So I got aware that bayes got
stupid and then I found the mess...
