+PH/38 Installed a patch from Ian Freislich, with the agreement of Tom Kistner.
+      It corrects a timeout issue with spamd. This is Ian's comment: "The
+      background is that sometimes spamd either never reads data from a
+      connection it has accepted, or it never writes response data. The exiscan
+      spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
+      blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."
