I probably hadn't updated one of the git trees, sorry for that.

Thanks very much!
Patch added to our git repo.

Brian, do you have a chance to test this version against amavisd-new?

Since Debian is in deep freeze, I'm just trying to fix reported RC
bugs. If you think the mentioned zerofill bug is worth having it in

the fix to apply against 4.041 after applying the float conversion
patch (or before, then the conversion patch needs changes).
 
Cheers,
