Have you tried running clamav without softlimit?
No, but that doesn't seem like a long-term solution. I'll give it a
whirl just to see what happens, but I don't want to leave a deamon
running without limits forver.
That would indicate another problem if RAM usage grows without bounds.
That was the case with earlier versions of clamav in my Solaris
environments but I haven't seen it for a long time. Clamd runs for
months without problems now. However, when it was a problem I had a cron
script that ran hourly to check the size and to restart it if it went
over 500m of RAM usage. I don't see strangling it as being a long term
solution, but anything that works is better than nothing. Tracing the
program might be a good idea, too.
