This is a bug in some Perl versions' implementation of getopt. You just 
need to run either
MailScanner /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf --debug --sa-debug
or
MailScanner --debug --sa-debug /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
One of them will work, I just can't remember which.

Note the new timestamps on all the debug output from SpamAssassin!
Perl's wonderful ability to be able to re-open stderr to a pipe so that 
you can automatically run another program on the error output from your 
own Perl program, without the user having to do anything clever on the 
command-line at all. Dead cool :-)
