Can't sa-learn, "trying to get lock" on bayes

[Tom Schuetz <to...@skyresearch.com>]

Hi, I am running SA 3.0.2 on an i386 RH 8.0 box. I invoke SA from
MailScanner 4.39.6 (perl version 5.8.0).

When I try to do sa-learn -D --ham /path/to/ham, I get this:

...And so on. I am not sure how to fix this. I can't add more ham until I
can do sa-learn properly.

Any ideas?
