On RedHat 8.0, perl 5.8, SA 2.43 I get this error message often in my logs:

Oct 24 13:37:09 blacktip spamd[24511]: Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected
continuation byte 0xa0, with no preceding start byte) in transliteration (tr/
//)
at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Mail/SpamAssassin/EvalTests.pm line 1787,
<STDIN> line 199.

Any ideas on this?

I'm pretty sure it's a bug in redhat's version of perl.  Haven't had
time (or access to rh8) to look into it though.

ILUG folks, have any of you seen something like this?
The line in question is:

  my $nl = ($rawbody =~ tr/\n/x/);

pretty basic tr.

No, this isn't a perl bug (or a redhat perl bug!). It's just an encoding issue. See elsewhere where we use pack(unpack()) to work around the issue.

Matt.
