I decided to upgrade to 4.68 yesterday, and since that upgrade,
mailscanner is not working. (i did'nt change anything else on the system)

I i run mailscanner --debug, it shows following messages:

10:20:16 Building a message batch to scan...
10:20:16 Have a batch of 2 messages.
max message size is '30000'
max message size is '30000'

and stops processing.

In the process list i see the MailScanner proces consuming 100% cpu, and
also an awk process with the following parameters:

awk {printf "%s %s\n", strftime("%T"), $0}

It seems that it hangs at that point.

I remove the whole of the mailscanner installation and installed 4.67..

But i still have the same problem (4.67 has been running fine before)

I manually adjusted the MailScanner.conf file to make sure there are no
strange characters or other fuzzy things in there.

I did an strace of the MailScanner --debug session, with the following
last lines which keep on scrolling (debugging did not give any strange
messages or errors):

waitpid(-1, 0xbf9b9b18, WNOHANG)        = 0
waitpid(-1, 0xbf9b9b18, WNOHANG)        = 0
waitpid(-1, 0xbf9b9b18, WNOHANG)        = 0
waitpid(-1, 0xbf9b9b18, WNOHANG)        = 0
waitpid(-1, 0xbf9b9b18, WNOHANG)        = 0
waitpid(-1, 0xbf9b9b18, WNOHANG)        = 0
waitpid(-1, 0xbf9b9b18, WNOHANG)        = 0

Anyone ?
