Well, it's good to know I'm not alone. Just to clarify:

What is your clamav version?
What is your OS?

I experienced some really regular hanging all last week, and I think I found
the email that causes the problem, but I can't reproduce it yet. My experience
with Bacula on FreeBSD leads me to suspect a pthreads (libc_r) bug, but it
may very well just be a ClamAV bug. I'm personally doing everything I can
to track this down, but it's slow going.

I run clamd on a variety of mail servers from FreeBSD 4.7-4.9 with no problems on this. The last time I saw clamd hang was on the old /dev/urandom issue which was fixed in 0.70.


One thing I do have different is I do NOT link with libc_r at least from what I can tell.

What I suggest to try is installing the pthreads port in /usr/ports/dev/pth, then make sure pthreads is pathed correctly by running the rc.d script it installs.

Secondly install clamav from the ports tree again after pthreads is installed. /usr/ports/security/clamav will install 0.71.

But first what I would do is make sure that any old libraries from previous clamav installations are removed. /usr/local/lib for starters. We had a heck of a time tracing some bugs/compile time crashes when old lib versions stuck around.
