Rick,

I guess your best bet is to switch off the PhishingScanURLs, if you 
don't like the idea of using new code at this stage.

I am still testing the PCRE on a test server, and I still have my main 
server running a crontab script which kills clamscan every now and then 
when it has been working for a long time.
====
#!/bin/sh
pid=`pgrep -u defang -f clamscan -o`
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
         #/bin/uptime
         #ps -o user,pid,pcpu,time,etime,comm -u defang
         etime=`ps -o time,comm -p $pid |tail -1 | awk -F: ' { print $1 } '`
         if [ $etime -ge 5 ]; then
                 sleep 60
                 #echo "Kill Clamscan: $pid"
                 kill $pid
         fi
fi
