I am experiencing the same problems.
We have two quad CPU E450's running Solaris 9 handling the
incomming mail
on our domains. These servers are generally very busy.
I initially installed clamav 0.90 with experimental code enabled.
Compiled
in this way clamd would crash every 2 minutes without any
indication in
the logs as to what the problem was.
I then installed 0.90 without experimental code. Compiled in this
way it
would crash every 8 minutes or so. I then reverted to 0.88.7 which
runs
without any problems.
When 0.90.1 was released I installed it and experienced the exact same
problems (dying within a couple of minutes).
Sun E450's make great mail-reader boxes due to the large amount of
disk capacity they have, but the ~400MHz SPARCv9 CPUs they have are
fairly slow for doing really CPU-intensive stuff by today's standards.
I'd give some thought towards either setting up a fast Intel box and
using ClamAV from the Sun boxes via TCP socket mode, or using the
Intel box as an external MX & SMTP relay which does virus scanning
and so forth, and just have the Sun machines only receive mail from
this external MX box.
With regard to ClamAV's stability, some people have reported that
0.90.1 without enabling the experimental code seems to be fairly
stable for them on Solaris. I've been sticking to 0.88.7 on my
production boxes, however, until one hears of 0.9x.x reported as
being stable for a longer period of time.
