 	* Ensure that robx computation uses a regular wordlist (rather

+	2004-09-03 (txn 2.1)
+	* The on-line crash detector would consider its own process a zombie,
+	  so all processes that lasted 30 s or longer would abort themselves
+	  after that period.
+
+	  This was particularly prominent with BerkeleyDB 4.1 with
+	  x86/gcc-assembly mutexes as this combination appears rather slow when
+	  facing lock contention, causing t.lock3 failure. BDB 4.1 compiled to
+	  use POSIX mutexes (where working) appears to be a lot faster in this
+	  situation.
+
+	2004-09-01 (txn 2.0)
+	* Hook up crash detection code. Bogofilter is now able to detect
+	  when recovery is necessary and should detect stalled data bases
+	  within 30 seconds.
+	  NOTE: this means if one process crashes all other processes
+	  accessing the same data base will abort with an error code.
+
+	  Stalled data bases happen when one process or the system crashes and
+	  doesn't have a chance to clear its locks.
+
+	  This code uses ideas from Matthias Andree and Pavel Kankovsky.
+
+	2004-08-23 (txn 1.1)
+	* Add -f and -F options to bogoutil (mnemonic: fix) to run data base
+	  recovery.
+	* Reimplement our own locking so that recovery and data base access
+	  don't collide and no two processes try running recovery at the same
+	  time.

 	* Remove bogus 'P' in bogolexer's allowed option list.

+If you are using bogofilter with the Berkeley DB data base library
+(which is the default, received most testing, is the most powerful of
