Yay! I am happy to report that the patch has fixed the database reloading / memory doubling problem beautifully:
Fri Jul 11 15:41:30 2008 -> Thread cleaning up. thr_alive(0)Fri Jul 11 15:42:01 2008 -> No stats for Database check - forcing reload Fri Jul 11 15:42:01 2008 -> Active threads(1). Waking them, and enter wait. Fri Jul 11 15:42:01 2008 -> Entering wait. Alive(1) Fri Jul 11 15:42:01 2008 -> Accepted connection on port 1155, fd 8 Fri Jul 11 15:42:01 2008 -> stream 1155: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND Fri Jul 11 15:42:01 2008 -> Thread cleaning up. thr_alive(0)Fri Jul 11 15:42:01 2008 -> Received signal. Active threads(0) Fri Jul 11 15:42:02 2008 -> Reading databases from /var/clamav Fri Jul 11 15:42:04 2008 -> Database correctly reloaded (348878 signatures) At this point it would usually be at ~130M.
