Jason, Did you ever figure this out? I've been having this problem since a CVS upgrade past 0.70-rc a month or two ago. 0.70 (upgraded just yesterday) does the same thing. I'm running FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE + daemontools. I don't see the seg fault, but my clamd is hanging every 5 or 10 minutes and I'm forced to use monit to test the socket and restart it if it's not working. This bug is really crimping my style. :) -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
