clamdscan / ClamAV version devel-20040312 FreeBSD 4.9 I'm still seeing clamdscan processes "hang" every now and then. They eventually exit but only after a VERY long time. 5+ minutes usually. (maybe on the thread timeout value). I've checked our logs and it almost always happens when the database reloads new defs or shortly there after.
It hung for shortly after loading the database upon scanning the following small files...
