Re: ClamAV 0.99 RC 2

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately, as of right now the only way to get pcre 8.38 is via their
rc1 candidate (check the pcre-dev mailing list for a tarball).

In practice, the pcre exploit ClamAV warns about (
http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1032453) relies upon an explicitly
malicious regex, so you don't have to worry too much unless you're using
untrusted sigs. Everything should still compile and run just fine, even
with 8.37.
