Not with 2.0; the code handling ClamAV was rewritten since we (I
and Thomas) found some issues with the standard "pm" and since
then, I had NO issues at all

The problem is due to the fact that the "pm" doesn't implement
a "wait loop" for send/receive, now... sometimes (e.g. while
reloading signatures) clamd will accept connections and will
also accept commands, but those will sit in a "queue" and will
ONLY be served after the reload (or whatever other process)
completes, this in turn means that if ASSP relies on the standard
"pm" any scan request will successully connect to the clamd but
then the scan itself will be kept "on hold" causing the calling
thread/process to stay "on hold"; the solution, in ASSPv2 case
was rewriting (thanks a LOT Thomas) the calls so that they now
use a timeout and better handle such issues, I dunno if such a
code was also implemented in v1, if not then that's what is
causing the issue
