Argh.  Updating perl requires updating a million other packages.  I 
usually don't update unless there's a security issue.

I have updated perl at least once since the problem appeared and it made 
no difference.  Is there any guess as to what I should be looking for in 
the changelog?  I'd imagine that if no one addressed this issue 
specifically it's not fixed.

But, fair enough.  You're of course right and I need to update.

Has anyone else noticed these symptoms?  It could simply be a matter of 
some process firing up before some other should.  Maybe I'll add a delay 
to the mimedefang startup process before I do the upgrade.

I'll report back if it anything useful comes of it.
