  Having finally gotten a version with patches that only goes to sleep
about once a week and locks up my production mail servers, I'm going to
be real careful about upgrading to newer versions when the mailing list
has one message after another about problems with them.

  I just ran freshclam again and instead of downloading viruses.db and
then giving me a checksum error it now claims:

Connected to clamav.elektrapro.com.
Reading md5 sum (viruses.md5): ERROR: md5 sum not found on remote server
ERROR: Can't get viruses.md5 sum from clamav.elektrapro.com

  Obviously somebodies figured out that the checksums were broken and
is playing with the files.
