Thanks for the update.

Another difference between the versions is the time needed to scan a  
directory

Old:

# time /usr/local/bin/uvscan --recursive --ignore-links --analyze -- 
mime --secure --noboot /tmp/EI
/tmp/EI/EICAR.COM
         Found: EICAR test file NOT a virus.

real	0m11.041s
user	0m2.962s
sys	0m0.294s


New:

# time ./uvscan --recursive --ignore-links --analyze --mime --secure -- 
noboot /tmp/EI
