Sadly found that I can't set "Debug Spamassassin = yes" no matther "Debug = yes 
or no".  It's as said by "Test"... those awk lines in the if 
($MailScanner::SA::Debug)loop under /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/SA.pm 
causes the problem (i.e those "backslashes" in awk may not work for some 
systems/shells).  I comment out the whole ($MailScanner::SA::Debug)loop and now 
it works fine.

:-D
