SpamAssassin can't add?

I have had the same problem for ages.  I have tried running with
MailScanner calling SpamAssassin and with procmail calling SpamAssassin.
The scores don't add up when MailScanner calls SA.  They do add up when SA
is called from procmail or when SA is run separately (ie passing the
sample-spam.txt message to SA from the command line).

I believe this is a MailScanner problem not interfacing correctly with SA.
 However, when I posted this to the list Julian responded by saying not to
blame him if SA can't add.

On the other hand, I do believe the the total score is correct.  The
individual items with a 0.0 score really do have a score that is being
counted.
