This may be old news, but it turns out that this particular file is in
fact infected with Worm.Bagle.BB-gen.  How do I know?  My domain was
placed on a spam blacklist thanks to this little bugger.  I combed
through my mail server configuration and firewall rules and found them
to be completely clean.  So, I uninstalled it, upgraded to 0.39
(release), and ClamWin stopped complaining.

Throughout this whole endeavor, McAfee Stinger failed to detect it.
Therefore, I can only assume that although Stinger claims to detect
W32/Bagle, it must not detect variants.  Something to look out for.

Scrolling down in the comments page
(http://www.subspacedownloads.com/index.php?act=file&fid=3), it appears
that I am not the only one who has found this file to be infected.  I
have updated this page with a warning and hopefully they will take the
file offline soon.
