one of the things i've noticed - and it could be confirmation bias,
i'll admit up front - but i swear that every *other* release of
clamav i run into memory usage problems with clamd. for example,
.85 ran for a good long while, never a problem
.85.1 clamd would routinely blow up in size until it exhausted free memory
.86 ran fine
.86.1 clamd again blowing up in size regularly.
i've had to restart clamd twice in the last thirty minutes, because
the server became starved, for example:
PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND
78403 qscand 124 0 308M 293M CPU1 1 10:01 67.14% 67.14% clamd
that's a big honkin clamd.
again, these are casual observations. i could be full of it up to the
hairline, it's happened before.
