clamd has now been running fine since I started it in the foreground in a 
screen last night (local time).

Right now it is consuming about 12 MB ram:

(from 'top'):
 5635 clamav    16   0 14640  12M 13124 S     2.5  2.5  19:52   0 clamd

This is what it does all the time.  This server is scanning 5 - 50 mail
every _second_, so it is quite hard to se how much memory a single scan
uses, but the problem does not seem to be a constant leak of memory.

The problem is that after a while, it will suddently start to use all
available memory, and after a few seconds the oom-killer will start
killing of processes, until clamd is killed.

We can the restart it immediately, and it will run happily for a while,
until the same bug is triggered.

As soon as I see this again, I will try to isolate the last "few" mails 
and see if I can spot anything suspicious.
