Thanks for the assorted replies. I'll try using INVARIANTS, as I'd much
prefer a panic and automatic reboot rather than creeping death for this
server which is only attended 06:00-22:00 weekdays yet is a critical
point in our 24*7 monitoring. Sigh. Champagne tastes on a beer budget.

Other background information (from memory as I can't access it from
here):
I'm not using unionfs / nullfs.
I am using MFS and softupdates.
NFS is in occassional use.
NTFS is not used.
The server is ancient. A 4 way Zeon, state of the art in 1998.
The problem has gone from "absent" through "reproducible if you
try hard enough" to "strikes according to Murphy" through 5.5-STABLE to
6.2-STABLE.

Once the sendmail milter ABI damage is fixed I'll bring the machine up
to date - it is also the build box for a dozen or so machines running
something close to 6.2-RELEASE, and I'd rather not upgrade all of them
them when the next ClamAV release appears.

If / when it hangs again, I'll include more information and maybe even
raise a real PR.
