This is a just a caution to anyone updating their OS's or more precisely, versions of perl.
This is a bug as best I can tell to do with mailscanners handling of spamassassin, if SA is disabled, MS appears to work fine, else it constantly bails as below, leaving copies of mail and all in work dirs, mail is however still delivered, so appears nothing is lost.
It's down to modern versions of perl, perl modules, but it seems not enough of us use 5.10.1 or greater (no issue with 5.10.0), so no other people see it for it to be given any real urgency at present. (we stopped using mailscanner, will use it again once this bug is fixed) Julian was made aware of two months or more ago, but is unable to reproduce it.
Since most of you use antiquated CentOS and Debian versions, you likely wont be stung for some years yet :)
But anyone using current Gentoo, Slackware and report of Archlinux as well, be forewarned.
