Hi Eric,

The way I see it, this happened:

Jake created the updated package using the same patch he had used for the 
original 0.96 build. It is still valid, but the conf file to patch changed 
slightly, so the patch hunks have some offset.
Now, for some reason, Fedora's build system enforces patch to run with fuzz=0, 
which causes this to break.
All I did was expand the current clamav package, apply the patch without the 
fuzzy option and created a new patch by using 'diff -Naur' just like the 
original patch from Jake's package.
The only thing that changed is line numbers in the .patch file. The content is 
otherwise identical.

So, yes, it is 100% compatible, it works for all distros and I guess 
re-creating the patch in this way should always be done to keep these problems 
from appearing. However, it does mean one or two more steps for the packager 
and, unless you use a system that enforces fuzzy=0, you'd not ever notice it in 
the first place.

Martin
