Adding bug 3082/3981 comment

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  You should also avoid using very large custom rules files. The larger custom rules files available from the SA community will exacerbate this problem. A prime example is sa-blacklist.cf or sa-blacklist-uri.cf by Bill Stearns (See CustomRulesets). If you have memory problems using these rulesets, consider using [http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SURBL] instead.
  
+ If you're doing the above and still running out of memory, check the size of your AWL databases. Per http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3082 and http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3981 an excessively large AWL database can cause this problem. You can use the --clean switch of the tools/check_whitelist utility to remove entries with < n hits, providing a way to clean out the db. This should resolve this specific problem.
