I'm trying to figure out what is causing, in my opinion, abnormal memory

crashed with the below:
Connecting to: /var/lib/clamav/clamd.socket
Is this the right socket? See clamconf | grep LocalSocket
Abnormal program termination: Failed to reconnect to clamd after
connection was lost in reconnect at line 624
Perhaps a command-line flag would be useful to allow it to retry a
couple more times?
For now edit clamdtop/clamdtop.c and at line 617:
if(++tries > 3) {
Change that to something higher, like 30, or 100.
Anyone with an idea what could cause this? This is version 0.96 on a
Mandriva 2010 box.
Maybe clamd is so loaded, that it can't accept new connections?
Also try this:
echo nSTATS | socat /var/lib/clamav/clamd.socket -
That gives same output as clamdtop, but in a text form.
