Postfix + mailscanner corrupts messages, mailscanner stopping

I've been keeping an eye on this too. Recent releases have certainly had
less corrupt messages, but I have now had one again.

It's in the form when run through postcat:

*** ENVELOPE RECORDS <id> ***
(envelope records)
*** MESSAGE CONTENTS <id> ***
(email headers, excluding mailscanner headers)
(envelope records again, slightly different from first time)
*** MESSAGE CONTENTS <id> ***
(email headers again, still no mailscanner headers)
(email body)
(mailscanner headers)
(email body again)
*** HEADER EXTRACTED <id> ***
*** MESSAGE FILE END <id> ***

The email itself contains some potentially sensitive client info, which
I can't really post on-list, though could post off-list, if that helps.
