Due to cygwin version compatibility issues, I'm forced to chose amongst 
native win32 builds only. I had been using the official win32 port for 
the past year, but it started crashing with increasing frequency. 
Finally, when it started crashing every few hours, I switched to the 
"netfarm" build.

The "netfarm" build took a little TLC to get clamd and everything 
working correctly, but it worked like a charm. Still crashes, but one 
every few days instead of once every few hours.

I thought I had solved all my problems... until today.

Now the "netfarm" clamd crashes every time at startup. The "clamd" 
process appears... but then disappears seconds later.

I tried upgrading to their Release Candidate ".04" version... but same 
problem.

I'm about to pull my hair out. Please help!

ANY suggestions appreciated!

ALSO: I may be willing/able to volunteer to help out with the 
programming/debugging for one of these builds. I'm an accomplished 
VB.NET programmer. (and I can work my way around C#.NET as well.)
