I'm getting an unusual error message in my maillog from MailScanner.

Sep  5 08:33:12 barney MailScanner[17513]: Commercial virus checker
failed with real error: Modification of a read-only value attempted at
/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Log.pm line 103, <GEN6491> line 1.

If I scan backward and find the preceding messages for pid  17513 I
find.

This is just one example.  There are hundreds of them.  I looked at
yesterdays log and there were some there too.  I'm not sure how long
this has been going on.  Other than the message things seem to be
running fine.  Is this something to worry about?  I'm running...

RedHat 7.3
mailscanner-4.22-5
spamassassin 2.55
f-prot 4.2.0, Mcafee 4.24.0, ClamAV-0.60

I'm also running incomming mounted on tmpfs.
