[clamav-users] Trying to set OnAccessExcludeUID to zero, not disabled

Hello,

I'm trying to set

OnAccessExcludeUID 0

in clamd.conf so scans are not run for the root user but when I view the 
configuration using clamconf it shows

OnAccessExcludeUID disabled

so the 0 is obviously being interpreted as FALSE rather than the 
intended root UID of zero.

How do I get clamav-daemon to interpret the 0 as a UID, not as FALSE 
which in turn results in a status of disabled? My system is Ubuntu 
16.04.1 LTS.

Many thanks,

Mark
