There is a race condition with database rolading under high load. Fortunately
I'm very close to fix it.

In the next version there will be a watchdog option in clamav.conf which
will start a seperate watchdog process. Some popular programs such as
MySQL already use watchdog scripts.

0.61 _must_ be released in September and I hope the race condition will be
fixed soon.
