        I've put it in place and it does seem more robust than 0.14.0, at least 
in its ability to load my headers without crashing.  :)

        Possibly related to the bugs involving regex filters, now in the log 
Pan 
puts a couple of lines like "Can't use regular expression 
"^.*[[:<:]]free[[:>:]].*$": Invalid character class name".  (Actually, in 
the score file, it's "FREE".)  Now, that one is supposed to catch the 
ever-popular spam that screams about "FREE (SEX|WAREZ|FRUIT)..." and the 
[[:<:]]/[[:>:]] constructs are supposed to indicate word boundaries.  
Therefore, any subject that contains "blah blah FREE blah" should be 
scored down a bit.

        I got my regex information from the Bash documentation... should I be 
using a different sort of regex?
