The crash site will be good if I decide to upgrade Clamav. I may just
live with current version until I upgrade fedora, which is presumably
the way fedora expects me to go. 
With the DAG Yum site, I followed links and found fc5 support but for
Clamav 0.88.7-1, so no better than I currently have for this package.

All useful and new information for me, so many thanks Andrew.
