I installed 4.50.5 and the behaviour is the same.  The install.sh script 
rebuilt the following Perl modules (sorry if the names are no 100% exact, I 
just scribbled them on a piece of paper):
IO::String 2.108  - no errors or skipped/failed tests
Mime::Base64 3.05 - as above.
TimeDate 1.1301   - as above.
Mail::Tools 1.50  - as above.
DBI 1.50          - Warning about running in production with threaded Perl
                    Warning during thrclone tests about dereferencing a
                    scalar vector during global destroy.

I have DBD:SQLite 1.11 installed and tested with no warnings or errors.

I'm stumped.  The debug output is the same as 4.50.4 - after every batch, 
MailScanner kills off the child due to old age, even though it's (often) 
less than a minute old.  The "Restart MailScanner" option in 
MailScanner.conf is set to "14400" (4 hours right?).

As always - any help is very welcome :)

Cheers,

James
