[clamav-users] Bytecode run timed out

It's almost certainly a file that follows S=12386 since that one is being reported as "OK". The file that failed might not even be listed, having failed the scan, although I suppose it's possible for it to be the next one shown.

It's my understanding that not all files receive a bytecode signature scan, making it even more difficult to determine the problem file.
