Try increasing gnus-verbose to 10 and see what is in the *Messages*
buffer.

You can put (debug) statements in the spam-split function, then
re-evaluate it with C-x C-e and you'll get popped to the debugger at
those times.  Hit `c' to continue.  You can use (debug A B C) where
A B C are any Elisp objects, and you'll be able to see their values
when you go to the debugger.  You can also put (debug) statements in
spam-check-bogofilter, which may be more understandable.  spam-split
is a pretty confusing function.  All of this is in the spam.el
library.

There is another, more interactive debugger but I'm not sure we need
to go there yet.

Finally, Xavier brought up a good point - is gentoo's portage a few
steps behind CVS or is it the latest CVS?  I've never used portage.

Thanks
