Paul, doesn't amavisd-new already handle this? I am running amavisd-new
2.2.1 (saw the same with 2.2.0) with SAVI-Perl 0.30 and I periodically see
in my amavis.log, just before SAVI is called:

sophos_savi_init: 27137 (64%)

I took this to mean that the sophos virus definitions were being reloaded
into memory, is this not the case?

Bill
