Running sophie 3.04 with Sophos SAVI 3.94 for glibc 2.2, I'm seeing 
"Error: File corrupted, Sophie could not proceed." logged.  After 
starting, sophie scanned ~80 messages normally.  One of the children 
segfaulted.  No scan completed successfully afterward.  sophie is running 
under a non-root uid.  Switching back to 3.04rc2 and SAVI 3.92 brought 
things back to normal.

Any ideas?
