latest sophos broken?

[Aaron K. Moore]

Here's what I sent to Sophos last Friday on my open ticket with them.

I ran across this thread online today.

http://www.vanja.com/listarc/vtools/2005-May/thread.html#1746

I've been running SAV for Linux libc 6 with glibc 2.2 ever since we
switched to Sophos a few years ago.

After reading the above thread I removed SAV 3.93.2 for libc 6 with
glibc 2.2 and installed SAV 3.93.2 for Linux libc 6.  So far it's
working as it should be without any corrupted file warnings by SAVI.  It
appears that 3.93 has some serious issues with some version of glibc 2.2
and above.

I'm running on a Fedora Core 1 box with the following version glibc rpms
installed.

glibc-devel-2.3.2-101.4
glibc-common-2.3.2-101.4
glibc-headers-2.3.2-101.4
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.36
glibc-2.3.2-101.4
