That's a specific build, not from the Fedora project. I'm running a
rebuilt F18 version of clamav 0.97.4 taken from the Fedora koji server,
and there is no mention of the 'async reload' patch in the changelog.

FYI, I also see a delay in reloading the sigs. If I remove the bofhland
malware signatures then the time to reload drops by about 50%.
