Subject:	Cygwin 1.5.6-1 and 20040126 : SIGSEGV in random() ???

Hi,

I'm trying to run the latest snapshot of clamav ( http://www.clamav.net/ )
under Cygwin 1.5.6-1. I compiled and ran the virus DB update (freshclam)
nicely. However each time I want to run the scanner (clamscan) I get a
segmentation fault at random times ; sometimes it will perform a full scan,
sometime it will stop after a few files, sometimes it won't even start. I
ran clamscan under gdb and this is what I got :

$ gdb clamscan

(gdb) run

(gdb)

I guess this explain the random occurence of the SIGSEGVs... Is there any
way this could be due to a bad usage of random() by clamav ? Or is it a
problem with this version of cygwin ? I've tried with the latest snapshot
available (20040126) with the same result. Someone already built an older
version of clamav under an older version of cygwin, I tried it and it worked
: http://www.sosdg.org/clamav-win32/index.php . However I'd like to run with
the latest version...

Regards,
Nicolas
