Oh, that's been on. 

I'm thinking it might actually have to do with stdin/stdout.

For the recent spate of ZIP virii, I think I also need:

# When activated, input stream (see STREAM command) will be saved to
# disk before scanning - this allows scanning within archives.
StreamSaveToDisk

(which is sort of annoying)

Hrm.  That might be it.  Time to put it in production.
