ok after setting up a complicated testbed I managed to capture a message which results in a 2GB(!) memoryallocation of the latest snapshot 02012004 in less then 3 seconds ... unfortunatly I'm unable to forward the offending message (confidental information of a costumer) - but I can provide debugging output and any assistence necessary to fix this to any developer requesting it in private!

Run the clam daemon through valgrind, trigger the leak, then shut it down normally. This should tell you exactly where it went wrong.
I'm currently in private contact with Nigel to resolve this issue - and yes valgrind reports something like 1209160(!) errors on this simple 220k message.
The whole debugging is getting quite difficult though because I'm still unable to forward the offending message due to privacy issues(work on getting permission to do so is ongoing).
