[Mimedefang] spamassassin failure

[Matthew Thomas]

>I portupgraded my spamassassin, mimedefang all in one chunk - things seemed
fine. Then I noticed a whole lotta spam coming through - I did some manual
checks and it turns out that something changed in the SpamAssassin.pm that
my older version of perl (stock 5.005) didn't like.

Matt,

I've attached below a copy of a message on the spamassassing mailing list re
incompatibilites between perl 5.005 and spamassassin 2.62

Regards,
Matt

Yeah, it seems I introduced an incompatibility for perl 5.005 before
releasing 2.62.  :(

http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2938 is tracking it, but
the simple fix is to just comment out line 100 (it adds a devel tag to the
SA version if you're running a devel version).
