I don't remember seeing such problem report before
(others about "parsing file(1) results - missing last 1 results" were
probably for different reasons). It is probably not due to Perl 5.8.7 itself,
which probably now runs on a majority of hosts and is quite good - although
it could be a particular installation of it.
Since it complains about main::stdin file descriptor, it is probably worth
starting investigation there. Does it make any difference when amavisd
is started manually from a command line, or when started by your
startup script? Or is there a difference when a startup script is run
automatically at boot time, or later manually?
You could try just ignoring the status result at line 1872,
replacing the:
close(main::stdin) or die "Error closing main::stdin: $!";
with:
close(main::stdin);
If the problem does not pop up now some place else,
it's probably not too bad just ignoring the status. Certainly it would
be nice to investigate further. Perhaps a strace -f could shed some light.
