SpamAssassin Malformed UTF-8 character 

Running latest SpamAssassin-3.2.0-rc3 with some SARE rules will generate tons of "Malformed UTF-8 character...", here is the relevant bug summary:

http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/s ... gi?id=3787

There are multiple ways to avoid this problem in the bug report. My simple way would be adding "use bytes;" back to Message.pm module, It will break normalize_charset, since I don't have rules written in other language, I guess I can escape this problem.

cdrecord on Yellow dog linux 

run cdrecord --scanbus, it gives me:

scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) 'SONY ' 'DVD RW DW-Q28A ' 'KAS7' Removable CD-ROM
0,1,0 1) *
0,2,0 2) *
0,3,0 3) *
0,4,0 4) *
0,5,0 5) *
0,6,0 6) *
0,7,0 7) *

but cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 iso_file complains that could not open /dev/pg0.

my /etc/fstab has:

/dev/hda /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

So ln -s /dev/hda /dev/pg0 make the cdrecord work, simple but nice trick
