I used MCPAN.  I usually use CPAN.  I've also tried using the RH 7.3 rpms
from the SA site.  There is no change.

CPU load goes immediately to 100% just after I start MailScanner with SA
2.50 enabled.  I've gone back to 2.44 and that works as advertised.
Right now I'm not calling SA from MailScanner at all.  After MailScanner
does its thing I'm passing all messages through SA 2.50 called from
procmail.  That works.

I'm using Redhat stock 7.3 with perl 5.6.1.  I've seen nothing stating
5.8.0 is a prereq.

I always stop MailScanner prior to any upgrades.  I mean "stop" not just
restart.  Once the CPU load goes to 100% I've found I have to try several
times to be sure all MailScanner processes terminate.

BTW, Net::DNS is installed.
