[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#904111: clamav-daemon causing deadlocks/blocking I/O

[Adam Lambert]

Ah, so I think you may have the winner.   I set my temp directory to be
something other than /tmp, and turned ClamAV back on, and it's been running
for about an hour now with  no obvious ill effects.   I will report back if
something else crops up, but I think this may solve it.

Thank you!
