spam assassin dies

I'm getting occasional spam in my inbox that doesn't run through spam
assassin. I turned on procmail and discovered that spam assassin is dying
with -6. Details from the logs:

procmail: Executing "/usr/local/bin/spamassassin"
__db_assert: "0" failed: file "../dist/../common/db_err.c", line 200
procmail: [8883] Wed Oct 18 07:29:13 2006
procmail: Program failure (-6) of "/usr/local/bin/spamassassin"
procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded

Spam Assassin does run on many occasions. The problem is these failures
result in high levels of spam.

Any thoughts?

Jeff

It looks like a problem with whatever storage backend you're using for 
bayes or awl.
