Why add code to clamd when a good unix-like solution already exists?

For the record I just want to say that I think "using excessive memory" is
more correct than "memory leak".
The reason I thought clamd had a memory leak was because I'd run it under
softlimits (set to say 40M) and clamd would end up (after mins,hours or
days) hung at 39xxxM. The logs would show it

However, none of those people have submitted a report from a memory
