[AMaViS-user] Misleading error message generated by sophos_savi_internal

We had a simple problem with our sophos scanner as it detected a
potential mailbomb (due to the use of EnableAutoStop). As we tried to
debug the problem, we ran into the error message:

ask_av (Sophos SAVI) FAILED - unexpected result: ERROR p002: error
scanning file
/var/spool/amavis/tmp/amavis-20060412T150526-28262/parts/p002, Scan
aborted by SAVI AutoStop (561) No such file or directory

Which made us conclude, that sophos complained about a missing file (due
to the last part)! But this is absolutely not true: 'Scan aborted by
SAVI AutoStop (561)' is the only reason. No missing files or the like.

The error message is generated by: sophos_savi_internal:

my ($msg) =3D "error scanning file $fname, ".
$savi_obj->error_string($result) . " ($result) $!";

I'd ask to change this to:

my ($msg) =3D "error scanning file $fname, ".
$savi_obj->error_string($result) . " ($result)";

as $! should have been reported by the somebody who did the
system-operation causing $!.
