Hey Paul, The reason for that is likely due to my usage of ctors and dtors with 0.98.3. In that version, I had added a ctors entry in libclamav to call cl_initialize_crypto and a dtors entry to call cl_cleanup_crypto. It turns out that operating systems like AIX, HPUX, and Solaris 10 don't support ctors/dtors. In order to provide support for those OSs, I opted to remove the ctors/dtors entries and call cl_initialize_crypto directly in the applications that we distribute that consume libclamav (clamscan, clamd, clamdscan, freshclam, etc.) That means that we're no longer calling cl_initialize_crypto in the background and third-party applications will need to call cl_initialize_crypto themselves. But that may or may not change with the discussion on Monday.
