This comes up quote a bit on the List.  A few scripts have been
published to deal with it, check the archives for things about
watchdogs.

FWIW I've had freshclam running on two servers for several years and
I've never seen this happen, although I did see freshclam bring one
of them down several times in the early days.  I think it just ran
out of memory, it only has 256kB.  Could that be a problem for you?
