Robert, just consider yourself lucky you didn't see any of them. ;)

Any takers? Are virus samples checked by Virustotal automatically
forwarded to the ClamAV sig team?

Probably just an oops or something, I *did* receive a notification mail
about further samples submitted. Sending these from mailer-daemon isn't

char *t="[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1:
(c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}
