My issues w/ nightly runs, fyi ...

[Theo Van Dinter <fe...@apache.org>]

Hey folks,

A few weeks ago, I noticed my nightly runs were not finishing in a timely
manner.  I didn't have time to debug the issue before going on vacation,
so I shut them off while I was gone.  Now that I'm back I took a look
at it, and it appears the problem is that both bayes and awl are being
used even though they're explicitly disabled in my user_prefs file.

Digging around, I found r596064 which disabled user_prefs in mass-check,
and therefore my config is no longer read to disable bayes and awl.
I renamed user_prefs to be local.cf, and it seems functional now.
But since this change was not well advertised (at least, I haven't seen
a mail about it,), it may take people by surprise.

This also led me to notice that local.cf is read in twice, once as a pre file
and then again as a cf:

[16753] dbg: config: using
"/home/corpus/SA/spamassassin-corpora/masses/spamassassin/local.cf" for site rules pre files
[16753] dbg: config: read file
/home/corpus/SA/spamassassin-corpora/masses/spamassassin/local.cf

[...]

[16753] dbg: config: using
"/home/corpus/SA/spamassassin-corpora/masses/spamassassin/local.cf" for site rules dir
[16753] dbg: config: read file
/home/corpus/SA/spamassassin-corpora/masses/spamassassin/local.cf

this led to some error messages when I had config options for plugins that
weren't loaded for the pre version, but then took effect with the cf version.

ok, this is fixed.

that should be easy to fix now, too....

I assume it was really r595759 that did this (although r595759 was broken).

Yeah, that's been doing that for a long time (since before I started 
submitting mass-check results)... I get warned about duplicate 
trusted_networks every time I run mass-check.  I never got around to 
looking at it. :(

btw, unfortunately my attempt to get --reuse working didn't pan out,
so if you're using --reuse in the set0 mass-check command line, take
that out again...
