Thanks for looking, Phil.

Please note Bug #496 - spaces in the key cause exim_tidydb not to
process the ratelimit DB properly.

I don't believe that "forgetting" the ratelimit DB on an upgrade will
matter greatly, either *unless* people start to use it for greylisting
in which case the docs will have to caveat/note the changes greatly.
