This is a message from libmilter which means that the milter returned from
cb_eom or that the milter context session terminated in some other way but
that the context private data was not NULL - so it's a problem in the
milter somewhere - probably just a condition where clamfi_cleanup isn't
called. The warning is just to let you know that there's a memory leak.
Thanks. I found the message in libmilter. I suspect this may be the reason that I periodically run out of memory. Occasionally sendmail completely loses all ability to function and I get a large string of out of memory errors from it (malloc unable to allocate). I have to restart sendmail, clamd, and clamav-milter to get things going again.

(While I'm looking, there are also a few places where memory can leak in
clamfi_envfrom. It mallocs the private data structure then can return
without freeing it or assigning it to the session context, so it will
never be cleaned up. It just needs a few free(privdata) calls before the
'return cl_error' lines.)
