Re: [Clamav-users] 0.93.3 memory doubling problem

Yay! I am happy to report that the patch has fixed the database
reloading / memory doubling problem beautifully:

Fri Jul 11 15:41:30 2008 -> Thread cleaning up. thr_alive(0)Fri Jul 11
15:42:01 2008 -> No stats for Database check - forcing reload
Fri Jul 11 15:42:01 2008 -> Active threads(1). Waking them, and enter wait.
Fri Jul 11 15:42:01 2008 -> Entering wait. Alive(1)
Fri Jul 11 15:42:01 2008 -> Accepted connection on port 1155, fd 8
Fri Jul 11 15:42:01 2008 -> stream 1155: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND
Fri Jul 11 15:42:01 2008 -> Thread cleaning up. thr_alive(0)Fri Jul 11
15:42:01 2008 -> Received signal. Active threads(0)
Fri Jul 11 15:42:02 2008 -> Reading databases from /var/clamav
Fri Jul 11 15:42:04 2008 -> Database correctly reloaded (348878 signatures)

At this point it would usually be at ~130M. It is still sitting at 70M
and happily chugging along
