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. Rgds.
