Critical bug in virus scanning engine (development versions only)

Dear Users,

all ClamAV snapshots newer than clamav-20031201 contain a bug that
completely disables detection of polymorphic viruses (Hybris, Magistr)
and other malware with multipart signatures. Please update to the latest
version and make sure the changelog contains the following entry:

* libclamav: fixed handling of multipart signatures (broken since
Dec 2). The bug was introduced by _me_ and not by the
Thomas Lamy's patch. Problem found and reported by René
Bellora <rbellora*tecnoaccion.com.ar>, Jean-Christophe
Heger <jcheger*acytec.com> and Tomasz Papszun
<tomek*clamav.net>. Many thanks !

ClamAV 0.65 is NOT affected by this problem.

Best regards,
Tomasz Kojm
