Simon,
What version of Sophos are you using? Their website claims this trojan will
only be detected in their next release July 2002. Either your sysadmin has
installed a beta version or something weird is going on. I advise you talk
to Sophos. In my experience they're pretty good at sorting this sort of
thing out.
FYI I'm running the june release and have had no issues with Ethereal.
