Upgrade spamassassin3.2.0 to SpamAssassin-3.2.4_2
Same problem occurs.

sa options: -m 35 --min-spare=7 -max-spare=10

Is this hardware or software?

Turn off automatic bayes expiry and expire using a cron job. See the list 
archives for discussions of this topic.

You can get rid of the bayes_toks.expire* files.

   False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real
   advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would
   take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown
   in it; that has no remedy for evils except destruction. The laws
   that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They
   disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit
   crime.               -- Cesare Beccaria, quoted by Thomas Jefferson
