Hi,
Yesterday I installed clamav-0.70rc-1 from rpm on my RedHat 9.0 (kernel 2.4.20-30.9) and started
clamd just to test it's current stability
The computer was on all night and today I found the following in the rotated logs:
Thu Mar 25 04:02:33 2004 -> No stats for Database check - forcing reload
Thu Mar 25 04:02:35 2004 -> Reading databases from /var/lib/clamav
Thu Mar 25 04:02:36 2004 -> Segmentation fault :-( Bye..
I've been looking in the archives and found some segmentation problems with this version but I'm
not using milter and my logs don't refer to any "accept() failed" nor "pthread_create failed" (nor
in this log nor in the previous before rotate, which only shows "SIGHUP caught: re-opening log
file." before rotate.
You probably saw some of my issues. I'm using RH 9.0 as well and have problems with spamd SegFaulting. I personally think it's pthread related, but have zero data to back it up. On my system, clamd handles 20K or 30K messages in about 12 hours and then dies. I upgraded to 0.70 cvs on Tuesday. clamd stopped segfaulting, but would lock up and clamav-milter would then die. I've had to disable it until I figure out what to do to make it stable.
I'd love to figure out what's causing this.

I've been developing a virutual server system using UML. It wroked great with kernel 2.4, then I started
experimenting kernel 2.6 for UML.
First case : bind tools failed (host, named, nslookup, etc.) IT was apparently pthread problem. It works fine without --enable pthread.
Next case, clamav. clamscan is OK, but clamd and clamav-milter keep segfault-ing.
I didn't find any pthread-related error on the logs, but AFAIK those are
the two clamav programs that uses pthread.
This time, however, instead of using --disable-pthreads, I decided to use static linux builds
from http://clamav.or.id. It works flawlessly.
Bottom line, as a work-around try disabling pthreads or use static build.
