sophossavi [was Re: scanning precedence]

[Julian Field]

Can you send me the output of
         cd /usr/local/Sophos
         ls -alR
(off-list).

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

If you did a new Sophos.install, you might have lost the link from
libsavi.so to libsavi.so.3 in the /usr/local/Sophos/lib directory.

If that is indeed the problem, then for the next release I have an improved
Sophos.install script which replaces the link.
