I don't know if this is a bug or just something I don't like much(!)

I just noticed that when Sophos fails to update I don't get a mail (as I did with previous versions).  Looking into this sophos_autoupdate logs the fact to syslog and prints to stderr (which when run by cron should then end up in an email to root, which ends up in my inbox), however update_virus_scanners calls sophos_autoupdate like this
${UPDATER} >/dev/null 2>&1
Which discards the message!  I've changed this to...
${UPDATER}
which appears to have solved the problem.
