After a review of clamd/session.c and the developers forum archives I know what the cause of my problem is, but not necessarily why. The version that works (clamd / ClamAV version devel-20040209', clamav-milter version '0.66m) does not use either poll or select. At least neither is called directly. All of the later versions use select and they fail - when calling poll. So I suspect that on my system select is calling poll. However, the time field is getting set to zero when the source code clearly indicates that it should be non-zero. The time field is reset to a constant after each select call. Recompiling with no optimization does not change the outcome so its not likely to be an overlay either. I am guessing that haveing quite a number of threads active may be too much for select which may be getting them confused. However, thats a wild guess. I have no idea how to check that out.
Granted I am only working with one OS type/version, but it appears to me that neither the poll or select is reuqired. The accept seems to handle the situation fine by itself.
The above should have included both session.c and scanner.c.
