Thanks, those fixes were good to get into BigEvil.cf and [be].

I've disabled forwarding of any updated [be] data to [ws] now.

Should I freeze my version of [be] now?

Probably we don't want to get the really dynamic version of
BigEvil as a SURBL, nor the version with the [ws] data included
in BigEvil, since that part would be a duplicate of what's in
[ws], sort of a feedback loop.  I'm trying to break that loop
before it starts....
