Problems with version 4

[Michael Keightley]

When I start version 4 up, lots of mailscanner processes are started, not just
one!!  I guess this is causing the error message.  Version 3 isn't running.
Why would so many processes be started up?

% pkill -9 mailscanner

% ps -ef | grep mailscanner | grep -v grep

% /var/opt/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner
Starting virus scanner...

# Wait 10 secs....

% ps -ef | grep mailscanner | grep -v grep
