I'll take issue with that statement too.  That's a cr at p developer attitude.

If an unofficial signature causes (or is even _capable_ of causing) clam
to crash, that's a fault in clam that needs to be fixed.

If nothing else it means that you're quite likely less secure if you're
running clam on Linux than you are if you're _not_ running it.
