Clamd is notified by freshclam of the update to the database, it reloads
it when it is next asked to scan something. I have a fairly lightly
loaded mail server here, it is not unusual to see several minutes or
even longer elapse between the freshclam database updated message and
the clamd database reloaded message.

It was either Trog or Tomasz who pointed this out when I asked a few
months ago, I had wondered what was happening too until it was explained
to me.
