Bug in SA.pm patch to MS 4.34.8-1

[Quentin Campbell]

Julian

Sorry to have taken so long to get back to you on this but there is a
problem with the MCP.pm.patch. Running MS in debug mode gives:

[root at cheviot4 MailScanner]# service MailScanner start
Starting MailScanner daemons:
         incoming sendmail:                                [  OK  ]
         outgoing sendmail:                                [  OK  ]
         MailScanner:       In Debugging mode, not forking...
SA bayes lock is /root/.spamassassin/bayes.lock

Undefined subroutine &MailScanner::Conf::Value called at
