Except the ability to operate from a given specific URL pointing to a file.

If the only updates come from freshclam-verified sources it wouldn't be so 
bad. The problem comes up that other mechanisims are necessry for third 
party databases.

I fully realize these aren't the clam teams problem. My question was not how 
to integrate third party dbs - the question was, is there a compelling 
reason to fail on a single corrupt line in a text database (or should 
have been, I didn't specify it wasn't the core db). And the anwsers I've had 
to that quesiton say, to me, that there isn't.

So I am going to work on a patch to allow clam to continue. I will attempt 
to make it something that could go back to the main project with an option 
to turn on and off, but if it isn't accepted, so be it. This will work 
better for me -- and this is the beauty of open source.
