one of the things i've noticed - and it could be confirmation bias, i'll
admit up front - but i swear that every *other* release of clamav i run into
memory usage problems with clamd. for example,
.85 ran for a good long while, never a problem
.85.1 clamd would routinely blow up in size until it exhausted free memory
.86 ran fine
.86.1 clamd again blowing up in size regularly.
Just FYI, the difference between 0.86 and 0.86.1 is a single character
in the source code. So it seems incredibly unlikely that 0.86 would be
fine and 0.86.1 would blow up regularly. That said, have you tried
falling back to 0.86? It would be interesting to see what happens
there.
I run clamav-milter (only, no clamd) on some fairly low-traffic
mailservers (3000 messages/day) so I can't really comment on memory
usage, other than to say that clamav-milter 0.86.1 is using 9 meg ram
(per thread, 1.5 meg shared) even after 6 hours of running. Of course,
I never saw a problem on 0.85.1 either.
