One thing in the forwarding.sh test that could bear a notice in the 
script as a reminder to forgetful/senile/frazzled/overworked admins is 
the port range(s) used for the test.  ClamAV's clamd service is often 
configured to use TCP port 3310, and this will cause the forwarding test 
to "hang" briefly and fail with a "corrupt file", when in actual fact, 
the file has zero bytes because the transfer never starts.

The GNU "cmp" tool spits out an extra diagnostic complaining about 
premature EOF as well.

See the attached for a proposed patch to clarify the problem as well as 
shift the base port range, which is an admittedly arbitrarily chosen one.
