That's right. I noticed that yesterday.

That error was introduced only in the latest version (20030806).

Fortunately, this is only when "raw" messages are scanned (i.e. messages
before being added to Mailbox file or inserted into Maildir directory)
(beginning with "Received: from ..." and not with "From " nor
with "Return-Path: <..."

I'm attaching the patch for libclamav/scanners.c.

But Tomasz Kojm already knows the problem so he'll fix it in the near
future, I'm sure.

Also, new Debian package by Magnus Ekdahl is uploaded (0.60-6).
