I am using 0.96.1. > Could you tell me when you started freshclam the first time (date/time, > or CVD version when you started), and your clamconf output? > I can try to replay the updates and see if any of them causes a memory leak. I can't be sure when it was started, although the ps output showed May 20. Can it be concluded that it was started on May 20th from that information? I'll keep an eye on it, and will report if it does consume a substantial amount of memory again. Please do drop me a line if you'd like me to evaluate or test something..
