One more piece of information. As I said, I first saw these increasing
counts after upgrading 4.76.7 to 4.76.10 three days ago and continuing
after upgrading to 4.76.12 two days ago, but I observe the rate at which
the count increases is decreasing. It went from 0 to 16 in the first 24
hours and from 14 to 23 in the next 10 hours, but then it took 14 hours
to go from 23 to 24 and it has been at 24 for the last 22 hours.

During this time, I have run "MailScanner --processing" a few times, and
this always gives no output, so it seems there is some kind of residue
accummulating in the processing database that is only counted in the
Found count when a child starts.
