Hi,

I've posted about this before, but thought it worth mentioning again.
I've upgraded my ClamAV installation from the 03112003 CVS snapshot, and
it's lasted 3 days before going mad.

First signs are this sort of thing:-


Nov  6 15:29:09 castor clamav-milter[11231]: hit max-children limit (5
>= 5): waiting for some to exit
Nov  6 15:29:09 castor clamav-milter[11224]: hit max-children limit (5
>= 5): waiting for some to exit
Nov  6 15:29:09 castor clamav-milter[11166]: ClamAv: private data not NULL
Nov  6 15:30:06 castor clamav-milter[11847]: clamfi_connect: connection
from vscan-a.ucl.ac.uk [144.82.100.150]
Nov  6 15:30:06 castor clamav-milter[11847]: hit max-children limit (5
>= 5): waiting for some to exit
Nov  6 15:30:09 castor clamav-milter[11231]: pthread_cond_timedwait: (rc
= 110)
Nov  6 15:30:09 castor clamav-milter[11224]: pthread_cond_timedwait: (rc
= 110) `\214^H^H
Nov  6 15:30:09 castor clamav-milter[11231]: ClamAv: private data not NULL
Nov  6 15:30:09 castor clamav-milter[11224]: ClamAv: private data not NULL

The pthread_cond_timedwait errors all show a few characters of ASCII
garbage, which looks like a bug somewhere to me. After a few of the
above messages, clamd starts showing session timeouts:-

Nov  6 15:33:13 castor clamd[24615]: Session 2 stopped due to timeout.
Nov  6 15:33:13 castor clamav-milter[11933]: ClamAv: private data not NULL
Nov  6 15:33:14 castor clamd[24615]: Session 3 stopped due to timeout.

Interestingly, when I spotted it, there were about 30 clamav-milter
processes running. Stopping and restarting clamd cleaned up 2/3 of them,
and then it went straight back into the error state. I have to stop both
sendmail and clamd, then restart them to fix the problem.

There was nothing else in the logs that looked relevant, but I'm happy
to test any theories...

Mike.
