On the face of it, I'm not overly concerned; but since the last upgrade of clamav (0.96.5), freshclam has been generating zombie processes (roughly one per day). Eventually enough accrue that Nagios notices. Restarting the freshclam daemon clears everything out. The only clue I have is from /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log:
This is happening on 6 or seven servers most of which are running some variant of 8.1-RELEASE.
Anyone seen this before?
