Hello,
On my system clamav-milter crasesh from time to time (disappears,
issues clamfi_close, whatever). This happens usually during spam attacks
(high load).
On my system the cron executes everything twice, instead of once. Thus
freshclam is executed twice, sometimes within a very small difference in
the time..
* Is it possible, that that the second freshclam blocks the access to
the DB and the clamav-milter turns itself off as result?
freshclam.conf sais:

In this case I would recommend to implement a locking mechanism, which
does not allow updates until the previous ones have finished. (and the
last sentence is why I post this to clamav-devel.
