clamd shouldn't be checking whether the file exists. I suspect that simply
removing that check will eliminate the problem. The proposed patch chooses
to add a connect() attempt, rather than remove the unnecessary check.
It doesn't matter if they file still exists. It only matters if the server
is bound to the UNIX socket. The connect() obscures things.
I can submit a patch, if it would speak louder.
Cheers,
