I have just patched Q-S to stop cleaning up when an error occurs. When it
happens again I'll hopefully be able to see what the offending message is.

BTW: I have just installed a "clamd checker" that gets clamdscan to scan an
EICAR test virus every five minutes, and kill clamd (to autorestart) if it
doesn't finishing within 1 minute. clamd hung and the killer acted, and 7
hung clamdscan processes from Q-S suddening produced the following error
message:

clamdscan: corrupt or unknown clamd scanner error or memory/resource/perms
problem - exit status 0, but no output! 


So if you are scanning something using clamdscan, and clamd crashes/exits,
clamdscan reports that as exit status zero!!! That doesn't sound correct to
me - shouldn't that have a different error code - zero should mean "no
viruses" only...
