Odd emit when starting amavisd 2.8.0

[Quanah Gibson-Mount]

I just upgraded to amavisd-new 2.8.0, and I see the following emitted when 
I start up:

zimbra at zre-ldap002:~$ zmamavisdctl start
Starting amavisd...Amavis::Util: can't obtain a tainted string at 
/opt/zimbra/amavisd/sbin/amavisd line 2609.
done.

zimbra at zre-ldap002:~$ echo $?
0

It doesn't appear to stop amavis from running:

zimbra at zre-ldap002:~$ ps -eaf | grep amavis

zimbra    6195  3166  0 09:01 pts/0    00:00:00 grep amavis


The block in question is:

 2602 use vars qw($enc_ascii $enc_utf8 $enc_tainted);
 2603 BEGIN {
 2604   $enc_ascii = Encode::find_encoding('ascii');
 2605   $enc_utf8  = Encode::find_encoding('UTF-8');
 2606   $enc_ascii  or die "Amavis::Util: unknown encoding 'ascii'";
 2607   $enc_utf8   or die "Amavis::Util: unknown encoding 'UTF-8'";
 2608   $enc_tainted = substr($ENV{PATH}.$ENV{HOME}, 0,0);  # tainted empty 
string
 2609   tainted($enc_tainted) or warn "Amavis::Util: can't obtain a tainted 
string";
 2610   1;
 2611 }


Any idea what the cause is?

Thanks,
Quanah
