Since upgrading to 0.91.2 we have been having constant problems
        with clamd running up the CPU, and memory.


         Over time,  I find more and more clamdscan processes sleeping.

I then start to see this in my syslog:


Dec  3 02:12:40 pony-express smtp: [ID 748625 daemon.info] 1196665960.319722 
X-Qmail-Scanner-1.25st:[pony-express119666475972219709] Requeuing: Maximum time 
exceeded. Something cannot handle this message. at /dev/fd/3 line 616.
Dec  3 02:12:40 pony-express X-Qmail-Scanner-1.25st: 
[pony-express119666475972219709] Requeuing: Maximum time exceeded. Something 
cannot handle this message. at /dev/fd/3 line 616.


        There is no warning in the clamd.log file.
        I will suddenly see this:

Mon Dec  3 03:23:43 2007 -> SelfCheck: Database status OK.
Mon Dec  3 03:54:37 2007 -> SelfCheck: Database status OK.
Mon Dec  3 04:01:20 2007 -> ERROR: accept() failed
Mon Dec  3 04:01:20 2007 -> ERROR: accept() failed
Mon Dec  3 04:01:20 2007 -> ERROR: accept() failed
Mon Dec  3 04:01:20 2007 -> ERROR: accept() failed
[..]

until the log file fills up completely.
At that point I start to see this in my syslog:


Dec  3 04:18:47 pony-express smtp: [ID 748625 daemon.info] 1196673527.266636 
X-Qmail-Scanner-1.25st:[pony-express119667352572225991] clamdscan: corrupt or 
unknown clamd scanner error or memory/resource/perms problem - exit status 512/2
Dec  3 04:18:47 pony-express X-Qmail-Scanner-1.25st: 
[pony-express119667352572225991] clamdscan: corrupt or unknown clamd scanner 
error or memory/resource/perms problem - exit status 512/2



I have to kill a pile of clamdscan processes and clamd and start it over again.


Has anyone seen anything similar?

My setup is Solaris 9 w/   qmail, spammassassin and clamav 0.91.2

any help would be appreciated.
