FYI, I hope our problem with defunct processes doesn't start popping up all
over the place with this new feature.  We had to disable this feature to get
our MailScanner stable again but use another new feature Julian added for us
in this release.

I ended up commenting out 2 lines that were a single call to UnpackOle
and mail is flowing again with no defunct processes.
