double messages?

I installed MailScanner with Clamav on a Solaris 8 (sparc) box running
Postfix as the MTA.  Often, but not always, 2 messages are delivered instead
of just one.  The first has the 'real' message, and the second is empty.
For example, a message just came through from this list from Marc Obaid, and
it was double.  The logs show the second blank message simply appearing, as
best as I can tell, although it seems that there may be 2 instances of
MailScanner trying to process the queue concurrently.  Has anyone seen
this behavior, and what can I do about it?

Thanks,

Jay Kusler
