Thanks Edwin, I believe I've come to the conclusion that this issue and
my high memory usage issue 'could' be related to the 3rd party
signatures. I've selected to use only 'official sigs' in my clamd.conf
file and so far since about 11am clamdtop has not crashed nor has my
memory usage become as extreme as it was when using the 3rd party sigs.
Now I'll have to do some more troubleshooting to see which of the sig
files are causing the issues.Chris -- KeyID 0xE372A7DA98E6705C
