problems with starting mailscanner

[Peter Peters]

On my new system I keep having problems with starting MS (4.05-3) on a
Redhat Advanced Server.

The first time I start (or restart) MS it dies on me with messages like
"can't write header /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/<some number>/<some
queueID"

When I restart MS after that it runs OK and it starts a number of childs
without any problem. When I restart MS after a while the problem
returns.
