This bug has been present for months. Certainly I had it back in September last year, when I first installed ClamAV. I've since found that increasing MaxThreads in clamav.conf, and max-children for clamav-milter, while it doesn't fix the problem, at least makes it less of an issue. I'm now running with 25 threads and 20 clamav-milter children, and, while individual milter children still appear to crash, I no longer have to restart the milter service every hour or two. You can also work rounf it by using something like mailscanner of MIMEDefang, though if you're running sendmail, milter is a clearly superior whay to do it, IMHO.
