Contents of a message can kill MailScanner?

[Gillis, Mark]

That subroutine seems to be in sweep.pl.. I un-commented the print "$line";
line you already had in there, changed .conf to point to my test mqueue
directory, and ran mailscanner from the command line.  Same results, and the
print $line did not seem to engage.  I tried simply print "$line" as well as
print STDERR "$line", same results.

please let me know if I am barking up the wrong tree.
