0 = off
1 = on
for Grp* you can have values > 1. They represent "invalid".
This is not an error, but means "none of the configuration options in the
group will be altered", whatever that means.

All individual options only take 0 or 1 as valid settings. All
individual options are U32, but 
    MaxRecursionDepth	U16
    IdeDir		STR
    VirusDataDir	STR
    VirusDataName	STR

Hmmm ... there is a SOPHOS_TYPE_OPTION_GROUP and the Grp* values
should probably be of that type.

Ok, I think I have found a bug in sophie.
sophie sets the Grp* options using a SOPHOS_TYPE_U32, but adding the
line
    if (STRNCMP(option, "Grp", 3)) stype = SOPHOS_TYPE_OPTION_GROUP;
make my problems go away.
Now sophie even recognizes the Troj/Sefex-A if "Mime: 0" is set.

The problem is in  sophie_init.c
In function
    sophie_set_engine_config()
look for
    /* Crap... */
    if (STRNCMP(option, "MaxRecursionDepth", 17))
	stype = SOPHOS_TYPE_U16;
    else
	stype = SOPHOS_TYPE_U32;
and add the following line
    if (STRNCMP(option, "Grp", 3)) stype = SOPHOS_TYPE_OPTION_GROUP;

recompile, reinstall.
