Exim 4.97 Seems to Break MailScanner 5.4.5 due to Change in MessageID Length?

Dear MailScanner,
I just tried an upgrade of Exim to the very recently released version,
4.97 and the mail system seemed to break. Messages disappeared. They
wold show as a line entry in a Mailwatch recent messages list, but the
actual message behind that entry would return Message ID
'7h01hZ-000000004Pk-1fWj' not found!
I note from the release notes on 4.97 that the Exim internal MessageID
format has changed,
as per: "The internal (but exposed in logs, Received: headers and
Message-ID: headers)
identifier used for messages is longer than in the previous release"
From: 7h02TT-0001wI-1b
To: 7h01hZ-000000004Pk-1fWj
I'm wondering if this might be the cause, but not sure yet where to dig
in to the code and see. I'm hoping that you might know the answer
without the need to dig too far?
Thanks.
Regards,
Tony..
