Package: clamav-daemon
Version: 0.90.2-0volatile1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

hi,

clamav-daemon has repeatedly gone in a loop eating 100% CPU
and not answering any queries anymore. Only kill -9 could
terminate it.

I just looked into it with strace:

--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now ~[HUP INT KILL SEGV USR2 
PIPE TERM STOP RTMIN])
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now ~[HUP INT KILL SEGV USR2 
PIPE TERM STOP RTMIN])
... repeated endless ...

I've no idea what causes the initial segv, but this loop
blocks all clients accessing clamd, in my case all incoming
mail. On my 3 MX hosts (combined 150k mails / day) it happens
roughly once a week (and sadly not all MTAs do a fallback
on a secondary MX).

I already had this problem with 0.90.1-0volatile1,
if I remember correctly.
