Perl-SAVI causing MailScanner to core dump

[Phil Kendall]

Hi,

Hopefully someone can help us out here.

We are using MailScanner version 4.43.8 with SpamAssassin 3.04 and sophos 3.95.

When using sophos as the virus scanner everything works fine.

When using sophossavi MailScanner core dumps when attempting initialise the locks. (uing flock)

This was detected by running MailScanner in debug mode. It appears that MailScanner was failing on the eval routine in the initialise sub:

eval {
      require MailScanner::Fcntl;
      import MailScanner::Fcntl (@MailScanner::Fcntl::EXPORT,
                                 @MailScanner::Fcntl::EXPORT_OK);
      1;
  };



MailScanner -v produces:
