I'm trying to determine the source of the error message in the 3rd entry
in the log below. The recipe and program are working despite the error
message.
I've turned on verbose logging and am waiting for the next virus. The
first entry is a test email, the second an ordinary spam and the third is
a virus. I was expecting the test and the virus to be handled in a
similar manner. The virus email is relatively large, being 102k in size.

This is the recipe where the program "mell" checks to see if it has seen a
500 byte token before, and returns the number of occurances on stdout. The
token is output on stderr. More than 3 occurances and it is bit bucket
time.
