Subject: [Clamav-users] error in freshclam V0.85


Hi,

I descovered an error in freshclam V0.85.
It is installed on an SuSE SLES 8 SP1, UL 1.0 SP3 box.
(Linux version 2.4.21-138-smp ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.2.2) #1 
SMP Fri Oct 31 00:51:31 UTC 2003)

When I install from the sources and run "freshclam -v" the output stops 
after the main.cvd:

./freshclam -v
Current working dir is /usr/local/share/clamav
Max retries == 3
ClamAV update process started at Thu May 12 10:23:45 2005

See the FAQ at http://www.clamav.net/faq.html for an explanation.
Querying current.cvd.clamav.net
TTL: 202
Software version from DNS: 0.85
main.cvd version from DNS: 31
main.cvd is up to date (version: 31, sigs: 33079, f-level: 4, builder: 
tkojm)


So I used my very little knowledge of c-programming and insertet a 
Debug-Line just to print "Start" at line 158:

---snip---

   memset(ipaddr, 0, sizeof(ipaddr));
   mprintf("## 1 ##\n");

   if((ret = downloaddb(DB1NAME, "main.cvd", hostname, ipaddr, &signo, 
copt, dnsreply, localip)) > 50) {
---snap---

I made a make clean and a make inside the freshclam directory of the 
sources and suprisingly the output is fine again ...
"freshclam -v" prints now the following:

./freshclam -v
Current working dir is /usr/local/share/clamav

I know that my added line has nothing to do with the whole functionality 
of the subroutine ... but it helps.
I think it is the real programmer's job to discover the real reason :-) .

Regards,
