Re: bit of an odd bug

Hi, This looks a lot more like a limitation of the Zend engine to me. The second observation you made is correct, at least, from my point of view. You are literally calling a function named clamav::scanBuffer(), not the member function of the class clamav. Hope this helps, Nicolas Bérard Nault.
