Spawning new child for each batch.

[Stef Morrell]

Hi,

I'm running MS 4.69.8, Postfix 2.1.5

Suddenly today (or at least I've not noticed before) MS seems to be
endlessly spawning children - a new child for each batch, with the
previous child dying.

I ran a quick debug batch and saw the following error, right at the end 

Negative length at /opt/MailScanner/lib/MailScanner/Message.pm line
3168.
 Failed.

I'm experiencing a real slowdown of email delivery (presumably) due to
this. I wonder if anyone can advise what's going on.

Regards

Stef
