If you are using LogSyslog, why do you specify an UpdateLogFile?  I
would only use Syslog; the internal logger is not a good idea.
It locks the log file, so if a "freshclam" process becomes stuck,
subsequent freshclams complain.  (I have no idea *why* it's necessary
to lock the file; if the file is opened in "append" mode and log
messages are shorter than PIPE_BUF, no locking should be needed.)

David.
