Just as a "hey, i got caught by this too", clamd doesn't kill the socket when it crashes. so if you're using a local socket ( /tmp/clamd.something ) make sure it's erased before you try to start clamd after a crash. One of the reasons that i stopped using local sockets, and started using tcp/ip sockets. Makes it easier for my monitoring scripts to restart the server, and firewall rules don't let external access to it anyway.
Developers: i'm woefully inept at programming, so this may be a stupid question. Couldn't you erase the previous local socket (if it exists) when clamd starts? Or is that just generally a bad best practice? I have no idea. Sundie...
