[Mimedefang] Cannot open bayes_path R/W: File exists

My new MD 2.33 + SA 2.54 setup has just exceeded learning 200 ham and spam 
messages, so SA is now using the Bayesian classifier.  At the same time, 
mimedefang-multiplexor began throwing the following into the logs about 
every other message:

Slave 11 stderr: Cannot open bayes_path /var/spool/MIMEDefang/learn/bayes 
R/W: File exists
(Or Slave 23, or Slave 15, or Slave 2...)

It seems to be classifying messages with the Bayesian system, since BAYES_* 
tests show up on the headers.  But it tosses one of these lines into the 
log about one slave or another, every second or so.  I have two relays 
running MD+SA and together they handle about 120,000 messages/day.  Not a 
huge load, but not a light one, either.

Is this a problem?
