Okay, I think I found the evil-doer, and it's, gladly, not related to clamav.
It appears there was an attack running towards one virtual host, which
made the load skyrocket of the server - giving clamav only so much cpu
time. It's still interesting that clamav showed up in top with 99%
cpu:
PID U
I was suspecting
inconsistencies with the user/group files first, but they seem to be
okay.
What I'm going to try, which wil hopefully shed some light on this, is
to have ptrace invoked when starting clamav in the boot sequence, this
might help in debugging things.
Thanks and Regards
