This is a known sophus Bug. A workaround is to disable the
"interruptible sleep" option. See

* Option to make on-access scanner less POSIX compliant

(DEF 41422) Some applications behave in a non-POSIX compliant manner
with
respect to open() calls being interrupted by signals. This causes
"System
Call Interrupt" errors to be reported when on-access scanning is
enabled. An
option has been added to make the on-access scanner behave in a less
POSIX
compliant manner, so that these errors are not reported. To enable this
option, type:

    /opt/sophos-av/bin/savconfig set TalpaSleepInterruptible false
