Package: clamav
Version: 0.92.1~dfsg-0.dotdeb.1
Followup-For: Bug #420391

clamav can climb from 1002MB (starting) up to all the available memory. 

My server dont crash anymore since I restart clamav every  hours. 

Looks like clamav-daemon is suffering a major memory leak under debian 
(I use it on windows too V0.94.1, and it does not have this problem and
consumes only 20Mb).
