I have been having an intermittent problem with the "mbl.ndb" file for
several days now. The closest I have gotten to nailing down the problem
is that there appears to be a supercilious <CRLF> occasionally tagged
onto the end of the file ocasionally. That may be totally incorrect;
however, I have not been able to discover the exact problem with the
minuscule resources and time available to me at the present. At 08:08
EST this morning the file did download, validate and load correctly. I
am going to try and contact the definition file provider and see if
they can track down the problem.

The good news with my script is that a faulty "mbl.ndb" file will not
be made available for clamav to use. The last good file will remain in
use unless you manually delete it which would be totally unnecessary.

Selfless self promotion: there is an updated version of my script now
available on SourceForge.

        https://sourceforge.net/projects/scamp/

It doesn't help this problem; however, it does address a few other
minor bugs.
