Well, it's good to know I'm not alone. Just to clarify:

What is your clamav version?
What is your OS?

I experienced some really regular hanging all last week, and I think I found
the email that causes the problem, but I can't reproduce it yet. My experience
with Bacula on FreeBSD leads me to suspect a pthreads (libc_r) bug, but it
may very well just be a ClamAV bug. I'm personally doing everything I can
to track this down, but it's slow going.
