So it has libcurl which brings openssl... some problem reports had this, could
you try a recompile w/o curl?

One performance improvement that has been pointed out in this list is changing 
your:

TemporaryDirectory /export/home/clamav/tmp

to something using a fast tmpfs mount, usually /tmp is such a case (i.e. `mount
- -p` reports "swap - /tmp tmpfs - no xattr") but you can create your own if
needed (perhaps you already did that, for instance, in /etc/vfstab add a line
with "swap    -       /export/home/clamav/tmp tmpfs   -       yes     -").

The idea is that your problem is a performance problem, not a bug.  This idea is
supported by the experience of several of us which also use Solaris 9, Sparc HW,
and see no problem.  A core dump analysis with gdb is mostly useful for chasing
bugs.

Old but with 4 processors, it shouldn't have problems and clamd shouldn't die.
