[Mimedefang] RESULTS file wierdness

Yesterday I started getting these errors in my MD log (3 different
e-mails with 3 different yet strangely related symptoms):

Oct 21 08:11:12 gleek mimedefang[29105]: k9LFBBcR067556: RESULTS file
did not finish with 'F' line: Tempfailing
Oct 21 08:11:12 gleek mimedefang-filter[66498]: k9LFBBcR067556: Clamd
returned error: lstat() failed.

Oct 21 08:45:03 gleek mimedefang-filter[75502]: k9LFj1Hi077163: Could

Oct 21 08:45:03 gleek mimedefang[29105]: Error from multiplexor: error:
k9LFj1Hi077163: Could not open RESULTS file: No such file or directory

The other oddity is that I have functions in mimedefang-filter are also
having problems when I try to create marker files (zero length) which I
use to maintain state.

I found nothing specifically related to MD when I perused Google.  I
checked the filesystem and there's plenty of available space and plenty
of inodes available.  CPU utilization and available memory look
reasonable based on the trending data I collect via MRTG.

OS is FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE - perl is 5.8.8 - MD is 2.57

Any ideas?

Thanks!
