There is an issue with the /etc/init.d/MailScanner script in the first
4.86.1-0 beta (I haven't looked at the new one yet).

The new code to test if MailScanner is running doesn't work, resulting
in /etc/cron.hourly/MailScanner starting an additional MailScanner
instance every hour.

Here's what I did to make it work:

See the explanation of why --exec doesn't work here in the description
of --exec in 'man start-stop-daemon'
