I'm trying to track down a potential bug in either clamav or cygwin which 
appears while running clamd.  In order to find what and ehere I tried to 
install the source package for this release of clamav to do some debugging.

There seems to be a bug in the source package for this updated clamav 
release..

This becomes obvious when invoking the clamav-0-80-1.sh script with the 
argument prep or all.

The source package has a patch file named clamv-0.80-1.patch.  While this 
patch is being applied, the patches to the first few files goes OK, while 
the remaining patches seem to be 1) reverse patches and 2) done with a diff 
specifying one directory level too deep.  So, I edit the patch file, 
globally replacing /clamav-0.80/ with /.  After doing this, things get 
furthur, but as I mentioned there seems to be a reverse patch going on, so 
patch prompts to "Assume -R" for several files, but not all of the patches 
can be applied anyway.  Then things go on to get worse.  This should 
probably be addressed by someone who created the patches in the package.
