Beta release 4.39.4

[Quentin Campbell]

Julian

Have installed 4.39.4 on cheviot7, the system on which there were
problems with the 4.39.3 MailScanner.

This time the ONLY changes to the installed MailScanner are:

1. set "Virus Scanners = sophos mcafee"
2. set "Debug = yes"

in MailScanner.conf. Nothing else has been changed anywhere in the
installed MS.

With just the problematic message in mqueue.in, when I run
"check_mailscanner" I get:

[root at cheviot7 MailScanner]# check_mailscanner
Starting MailScanner...
In Debugging mode, not forking...
format error: can't find EOCD signature 
 at /usr/sbin/MailScanner line 563
Stopping now as you are debugging me.
[root at cheviot7 MailScanner]#

Is this of some help with the earlier problem or have I missed an
important change in the new MailScanner.conf?

What version of MIME-Tools should we be running with this latest MS?
