clamav and bzip2

[John Brown]

Dear Daniel,

    The clamav source configure script found that error still embedded 
in the compiler from an Xcode dmg I downloaded yesterday from the Apple 
developer site. Doesn't Apple check for known bugs in their download 
packages? The macports clamav made no such complaint. Exactly how does 
the most recent code from CLAM detect the presence of a known and 
resolved compiler bug and the macports version of clamav does not??? 
Possibly that bug is my slowdown with the macports clamscan.

    If you think bugs in compilers are acceptable,  that would be a 
unique developer approach. This is not a clam source code problem! They 
at the least fix all the bugs detected in their code and detect the 
known bugs in stuff their code uses. For instance, bzip2, gcc, etc.

	Shalom,
