MailScanner 4.78

After upgrading to 4.78, I'm having problems getting MailScanner to process
mail properly. It seems to only process mail originating from our domain.
Incoming email seems to hang in the queue indefinitely.
Specifically, I believe the problem is here:
[root at mailserver incoming]# /usr/sbin/MailScanner --debug
In Debugging mode, not forking...
Trying to setlogsock(unix)
Building a message batch to scan...
Can't call method "print" on an undefined value at
/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/PFDiskStore.pm line 743.
Some searching lead to checking the permission on the working dir:
drwxrwxr-x 14 clamav clamav 4096 Nov 2 10:04 incoming
But, not matter how much worldwritable permission I give it, it still
complains, so I'm not so sure it's a permission issue.
Not sure if they're related, but I also receive this in --lint:
[root at mailserver incoming]# MailScanner --lint
Trying to setlogsock(unix)
Reading configuration file /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
Read 856 hostnames from the phishing whitelist
Read 6690 hostnames from the phishing blacklists
Checking version numbers...
Version number in MailScanner.conf (4.78.17) is correct.
Unrar is not installed, it should be in /usr/bin/unrar.
This is required for RAR archives to be read to check
filenames and filetypes. Virus scanning is not affected.
Your envelope_sender_header in spam.assassin.prefs.conf is correct.
MailScanner setting GID to (89)
MailScanner setting UID to (89)
Checking for SpamAssassin errors (if you use it)...
Using SpamAssassin results cache
Connected to SpamAssassin cache database
SpamAssassin reported no errors.
Connected to Processing Attempts Database
Created Processing Attempts Database successfully
There are 763 messages in the Processing Attempts Database
Using locktype = posix
MailScanner.conf says "Virus Scanners = clamav"
Found these virus scanners installed: clamavmodule
