Sorry for a bit of thread hijacking which follows:

On a sidebar subject and not directed at Steve and his great work, but 
SourceFire - I'm tired of explaining to customers why some bounces claim the 
virus ID is "unofficial". I've removed that from the code because in my data 
center any signature I put in there is "OFFICIAL!!!!!". I really don't like to 
share ownership of processes including classifying my contributions to the end 
result. This "UNOFFICIAL" nonsense should be a config file option that we apply 
in the field, not at compile time.

And I will fight to the end to take back this ownership even if it means 
writing 
and maintaining a GPL patch freely distributable to all!
