freshclam (0.80) as compiled from ports on a FreeBSD 4.10 box seems to run on it's own for a period of time, then although the process is still alive, just seems to stop doing any work. Witness the below, set to check 48 times a day, or once every 30 minutes, performs one check, then does nothing. Typically this dies during the night but I was able to get it to reproduce this morning with just one check. I started it at 9:32AM, by 11:51AM it had only done one check that I can see. Duplicate lines are the result of me tailing the log files while also running the command in verbose mode. Any ideas why it hangs? Is it checking but not logging or telling me?
