followed by clamav-milter no longer working (it needs to be restarted).

This is quite similar to a previously reported DoS vulnerability in older
versions of clamav:

http://www.idefense.com/application/poi/display?id=276&type=vulnerabilities&flashstatus=true

That is a different issue.

It's not an urgent problem for me since I have some simple monitors that
restart clamav-milter as needed.

Has your /tmp filesystem become full?
