Looks like a clean shutdown of a child process...

At this point the amavisd parent process is about to execute
the SAVI routine load_data(), which seems to crash the (master) process

and you end up with no amavisd.
So the problem lies either in the load_data() routine, or in the
underlying SAVI library. Running the master process through strace
(or truss) could show the true reason for a crash:
su vscan
strace amavisd foreground >1.log 2>&1
Just in case the failure is non-fatal and could be caught, would you
please replace the entire (small) subroutine sub sophos_savi_reload
with the following replacement, which provides a little bit more
logging and is a bit more tolerant to SAVI problems. At least you
will see an additional log entry (at log level 2 or above):
sophos_savi_reload: about to reload SAVI data
sub sophos_savi_reload {
if (defined $savi_obj) {
do_log(2,"sophos_savi_reload: about to reload SAVI data");
my($status); eval { $status = $savi_obj->load_data };
if ($@ ne '') {
chomp($@); do_log(-1,"sophos_savi_reload failed: %s",$@);
} elsif (defined $status) {
do_log(-1,"sophos_savi_reload: failed to load SAVI virus data %s (%s)",
$savi_obj->error_string($status), $status);
}
my($version) = $savi_obj->version;
if (!ref($version)) {
do_log(-1,"sophos_savi_reload: Can't get SAVI version: %s", $version);
} else {
do_log(2,"Updated SAVI data: Version %s (engine %d.%d) ".
"recognizing %d viruses", $version->string,
$version->major, $version->minor, $version->count);
}
}
}
