This might be a question for the mimedefang list, but I thought I'd try here first in case I'm missing something obviously related to clam.

I've had 0.95.3 running since it came out with no problems, but 0.96 returns an error of 2 (which the man explains as "Some error(s) occured.") when mimedefang tries to run it with my default config.

It's using clamscan, which works fine from the command line. If I go into my signature directory and move the largest of the databases away (SaneSecurity's "jurlbl.ndb", for example), it works fine. When I move them back, I get the error code 2 again. I didn't notice if specific databases were causing the problem, or if it was only when the total size topped a certain number.

(I've rolled back for the moment and am not in a good position to experiment right now, but I can test that later if necessary.)

I tried to add a "--debug", but I don't know where those messages go (yes, I know a question for the mimedefang guys) in that context.

But, anyway, do you guys have any clever suggestions? Before you ask, I don't use clamdscan because I've never needed to, and it's been one less thing to go wrong, up until now anyway.

I suppose I should note that I got a number of compiler warnings during the make (see thread: "0.96 compile warnings on FreeBSD 7.1"). Things ran smoothly for a little while without the larger databases, but I'd rather not leave the system up without the phish database and such.
