It is a problem in Perl 5.8.7, which for some reason only surfaces
on FreeBSD (but other similar Perl I/O artifacts only surface on Linux).  
Amavisd-new 2.3.2 just provides a workaround and ignores 'expected'
I/O error condition fabricated by PerlIO.

From 2.3.2 release notes:
- ignore status EAGAIN when reading results on a pipe from a forked process;
  the status EAGAIN seems to be an artifact of Perl I/O on some installations;
  reported by several people to cause problems on FreeBSD with Perl 5.8.7
  (but Perl 5.8.6 is fine); thanks to Bart Matterne for testing and feedback;

Mark
