I recently put .95 on an Ubuntu box, and ExcludePath in clamd.conf doesn't
seem to be working right.

Here's the lines from /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf for the ExcludePath

ExcludePath ^/proc/
ExcludePath ^/sys/
ExcludePath ^//sys/
ExcludePath ^/tmp/


I realized that there was some question about whether two //'s or one in the
configuration file in previous versions, so I did one of each.


Then I typed:

sudo clamd --config-file=/usr/local/etc/clamd.conf


to make sure it was pointing at the right configuration file.

Then I typed:

sudo clamdscan /sys

As a test.  I'd expect since /sys is specifically excluded, that it would
not scan anything, however, it attempted to scan /sys (and ran into
problems).


Has anyone else seen this symptom?
