Hi list,

FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE, latest clamav devel installed from ports
(clamav-devel-20060922) being used with qmail-scanner-2.01st.
Everything was working fine for about week but today I noticed that
clamd has crashed with the following error in clamd.log:

clamd daemon devel-20060923 (OS: freebsd6.2, ARCH: i386, CPU: i386)

clamd is running under qscand user, so is freshclam. I doublechecked
permissions and everything looked usual:

#ls -al /var/run/clavam
srwxrwxrwx  1 qscand  qscand    0 Sep 28 10:41 clamd
-rw-rw----  1 qscand  qscand    4 Sep 28 10:41 clamd.pid
-rw-rw----  1 qscand  qscand    3 Sep 28 10:01 freshclam.pid

#ls -al /var/db/clamav/
-rw-r--r--   1 qscand  qscand   757447 Sep 28 10:51 daily.cvd
-rw-r--r--   1 qscand  qscand  5858804 Sep 28 10:45 main.cvd

I also checked TemporaryDirectory in clamd.conf - it points to /tmp
with the following permissions drwxrwxrwt. Tried to delete virus
definitions and restart freshclam - it sucessfully downloads cvd's but
during next sanity check the same error occurs.

Restarting clamd is solving the problem until the next SelfCheck, so I
had to increase internal sanity check interval. We have another server
powered by FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE under the same load but with
clamav-devel-20060703 installed - no problem here.

Any hints or ideas would greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your time.
