Thanks Mark and Gary,

I guess I'll be rebuilding that server with sarge over the weekend...

Thanks for finding it.

Thanks, the output from file(1) looks normal, yet your PerlIO or libc
returns incorrect status on reading the last line. I'm quite sure
it is related to the mentioned Perl I/O bug. It shows on some platforms,
and not on others. I'd suggest you try on a different OS platform,
perhaps as Gary suggests, or SUSE or whatever is supported by Zimbra.

As a quick-and-dirty workaround you may just comment out the
check for error status, although this way you'll never know
when a true error occurs. Just comment out the two lines:
defined $ln || $!==0 || $!==EAGAIN
or die "Error reading from file(1) utility: $!";


For experimenting, here is a small test program in Perl,
which mimics what amavisd does: forks a file(1) command
giving it some filename as argument, and reads output from
pipe line by line, printing each line, and checking status.
E.g.: $ ./this-prog some-file.txt
