Hi,

I was wondering how people were getting on with crashes.

If anyone is still getting crashes, please look at the following links and
were possible post to the bugzilla entry:

http://www.clamav.net/bugs
https://wwws.clamav.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1370

The last reply from the ClamAV team was a request for using Valgrind:

"Could you try running clamd under valgrind on a test box? It will run much
slower (several minutes just to start up and reload the database), but it
should give an indication to what is wrong.

$ valgrind --trace-chilren=yes --log-file=/tmp/valgrind.log --time-stamp=yes
/usr/sbin/clamd

Then do the same steps that crashed clamd. Even if it doesn't crash attach
valgrind.log if it has any entries about errors."

Cheers,
