OK. After hashing through a couple of different tests with Nigel
Horne on my FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE laptop, my FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE
test and production servers, one of Nigel's FreeBSD 5.2 machines,
and one of Nigel's linux machines of unknown type I finally gave
the CVS version a try.

I found that the CVS version works quite well and alleviates the
problem of new clamdscan connections being rejected under high
load.

The only thing I still don't understand is why clamscan is so
much faster than clamdscan, and why clamscan only uses 25M
of process memory while clamdscan uses over 298M of process
memory during the scan:
