Then the people who aren't affected by it get yelled at by their freshclam
daemon that they are out of date.  I am just finishing getting everything
to 0.93.1 and am not looking forward to having to do it again real soon
just to fix something that does not affect me.

I am still trying to figure out how you have FreeBSD/ClamAV set up to have
this problem.  I am running varios version of FreeBSD and have not seen
this problem on any of them.

If you are able to start debugging the code then patching it should be
a trivial matter and I don't see why it is such a big deal.
