I've been having a lot of problems with ClamAV crashing, so I've temporarily 
switched to F-Prot which *did* find something wrong with the earlier mentioned 
file, as well as two others:

[Found trojan] <JS/Redir.HY (exact, not disinfectable)>         
/z/public/pub/wikimedia/images/wiktionary/fj/c/c4/citibank-car-loan.pdf
[Found exploit] <CVE-2009-0658 (not disinfectable)>     
/z/public/pub/wikimedia/images/wikisource/ar/7/7d/الحراب_في_صدر_البهاء_والباب.pdf
[Found exploit] <CVE-2009-0658 (not disinfectable)>     
/z/public/pub/wikimedia/images/wikisource/ar/b/be/السنة_لابن_حنبل.pdf

At the rate it's going, it's going to take several days to finish, even with 
several running in parallel. I'll let it finish, but it's looking like at 
minimum there are some old PDFs that have some exploit code in them.
