The original bug was related to /dev/console. The above seems like
a standard permission problem.
I reported this bug one week before. But once again:

May 17 13:13:42 server clamav-milter: /var/log/clamav/clamd.log: Permission denied
and clamav-milter is not running.
# grep User /etc/clamd.conf User clamav
My observation is: clamav creates log file with root permission, so user clamav cannt write to log.
Are there some developers who believes that non-priviledged user clamav can write to logfile with bad permissions (0640 root.root clamd.log)? This assumption is wrong on some unix like OSes, Im affraid.
Clamav should create log file with same owner as defined in clamd.conf to work it properly.
