version 2.2.0 (and presumably 2.2.1) by default initialize the SAVI object
in the children, so each child loads the virus data independently. so, when
ever a new child is created, it will load the latest virus data.

With this patch, virus data is only loaded in the parent increasing
efficiency, and the children automatically exit whenever stale virus data
is detected reducing the number of messages processed with out-of-date
protection.
