I have tried running clamd in local socket mode.  The first time it
runs everything is ok, it creates the /var/run/clamd/clamd.socket. 
Whenever I reboot the server and it trys to build the socket, I get
the error "ERROR:


You should stop clamd cleanly - eg. by sending the SIGTERM signal.

Best regards,

What about the following pseudo-code at startup of clamd (instead of 
failing):

if (file exists(UNIX_SOCKET)) {
  if (connect(UNIX_SOCKET) != ERROR) {
     die ("Socket already exists");
  }
  warn ("Socket already exists but is not connected - unclean shutdown?");
  unlink (UNIX_SOCKET);
}
