I have reproduced this error, and am currently working on a fix. See https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=12597.
We made a change to create PID files before dropping privileges so that an unprivileged user cannot change the PID file and have the service manager kill the wrong process. Since there are still conditions that could cause the child process initialization to fail, the parent process waits for a signal that the child process is initialized to exit, so that it can report an accurate exit status. When the child drops privileges, it is not able to send SIGINT to the parent. I am currently working on a patch to have the parent drop privileges so that it can be signaled by the child.

That's not an intended effect of the PID file change. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
