OK, I found the bug. It's in the template for the infected files:

--- ex2/template.org        Wed Nov 28 21:38:15 2001
+++ ex2/template    Wed Nov 28 21:39:00 2001

+  sed '/^$/q' "$MAIL"
   echo "

 )  | $SENDMAIL -f "" -- "$SENDER"
	

Actually I tested avcheck with version 0.3 and shortly before I put my
machine into production I updated avcheck and gave it only a short test
again. Obviously I didn't gave a close enough look to the generated
messages this time :(

Oh well,

Juri
