Does this release solve the issue I have (As seen in my logwatch summary)?:
150 Extra code modules loaded at runtime
----------------------------------------------------
50 unicore/lib/gc_sc/Digit.pl
50 unicore/lib/gc_sc/SpacePer.pl
50 unicore/lib/gc_sc/Word.pl
Eventhough I have this in my amavisd.conf:
@additional_perl_modules = qw(
/etc/mail/spamassassin/FuzzyOcr.pm
Mail::SpamAssassin::CompiledRegexps::body_0
MLDBM
String::Approx
Time::HiRes
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/unicore/lib/gc_sc/Digit.pl
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/unicore/lib/gc_sc/SpacePer.pl
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/unicore/lib/gc_sc/Word.pl
);
