Hello ClamAV mailing list,
On Debian Jessie 8, 32 bit, 256MB ram, 14MB in use.
Why is |freshclam| so memory hungry that it bombs out with |Failed to 
load new database|, when there's 242 MB of free RAM available?
What can be done to improve the code so the definition updates don't 
burn through so much RAM just for a download?
Thanks.
