Dennis:

Well, Murphy must hate me. I added a system call at the beginning of clamdwatch 
to capture ps as you suggested. With that change, everything now seems to be
working. Weird. I will keep it running like that for a while and see if it again
appears to break. For what I see from ps, have plenty of all resources needed, 
so
I do not think it is a resource starvation issue. But, we'll see.

THANKS!
