Help!

I installed mailscanner last week and everything worked well. This
morning I came in and found that mailscanner had stopped running.
Attempting to start it returned the following error:

Starting virus scanner...
Can't set GID 10000 at /usr/mailscanner/bin/logger.pl line 64.

I am using mailscanner with Exim 4.10 on RH (I think) 7.2 and PERL
5.8.0

Syslog output includes the following:

Aug 19 11:53:43 ccsmta2 mailscanner[3020]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus
Scanner version 3.22 starting. 
Aug 19 11:53:43 ccsmta2 mailscanner[3020]: Configuring mailscanner

UID to exim (10000) 
Aug 19 11:53:43 ccsmta2 mailscanner[3021]: ECS MailScanner setting
GID to exim (10000) 
Aug 19 11:53:43 ccsmta2 mailscanner[3021]: Can't set GID 10000

I am pretty sure it worked fine until this weekend when I upgraded
Perl.

Any thoughts?
