Howdy list,

I just upgraded from ClamAV 0.60 to 0.70-rc on my 4.8-RELEASE
machine. It seems to be working OK, but it's not standing up
very well under stress tests.

I attempted to push a 59M email through clamd via clamdscan
(all body, not attachment) and clamd has started chewing up
RAM and CPU.

The sending of my 59M message finally timed out:

[15:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[~/mailtest]% ./testdeliver.sh test-message.txt
cat test-message.txt | smtpblast -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] -r chortos.wingnet.net -t [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]
------ Begin Output 1 ------
D#@: chortos.wingnet.net: message rejected, deferred: 451 qq temporary problem (#4.3.0)
------ End Output 1 ------


[15:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[~/mailtest]%


But my clamd is still bloated and chewing up CPU 5 minutes or so after
the message timed out:

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
43687 qscand    64   0   330M   329M RUN     14:34 41.85% 41.85% clamd

Emails are getting rejected while this happens and I see this in my
maillog:

Mar 22 15:48:08 chortos X-Qmail-Scanner-1.21: [chortos.wingnet.net107998790747059646] 
clamdscan: corrupt or unknown clamd scanner error or memory/resource/perms problem - 
exit status 0, but no output!
Mar 22 15:48:19 chortos X-Qmail-Scanner-1.21: [chortos.wingnet.net107998849847064567] 
clamdscan: corrupt or unknown clamd scanner error or memory/resource/perms problem - 
exit status 2


Any ideas on how to avoid this in the future? I'm running with ScanArchive
and ScanMail (because I want the binhex feature on).
