Usually I'd agree, but (clued in from another thread by Jason) this
time it is because he set the (MailScanner) Incoming Work Dir to be
the hold queue... So those errors are due to MailScanner writing one
directory/child (childs PID as name) into the hold queue, nothing more
"sinister" than that:-).

Then again, with the speed and ... precision... Jason had while
setting this up, the usual problems with bayes, razor etc isn't
unlikely, I'll readily agree to that:-).
