Untested (although I may try this to solve a similar problem here):
You should be able to set one of the acl variables to some value in this acl
clause, and then in a subsequent clause see whether that value is set.
Since "no action is taken" for temporary failures, the variable should be
unset if Sophie has crashed.
You should also attack the crashing problem...one of the reasons Sophos
issued 3.78d was to cure a crasher. Perhaps some of the crashes would be
cured by that version.
