Quarantine: don't save core files

Julian,

I reported a few days ago about an ancient boot virus that caused
sophos to core.  MailScanner obligingly moved the core files to
quarantine, filling up my filesystem.  I know this is an oddball
case, but maybe MS can do an unlink("core") as part of the quarantine
step to keep cores outta there.  One could always recreate the
core by hand for Sophos Inc from the contents of the quarantine.
