[clamav-users] clamonacc loop

LS,

I noticed a significant degradation of the performance on my systems, 
which ended when I stopped clamonacc.

As I looked further, it seems that clamonacc is constantly looping 
around the same file. As far as I can tell, the last file it scanned - 
but not sure about that. I can easily reproduce that by using .bash_history.
After a command, say top, I stopped that and clamonacc keeps on 
displaying 'performing scan....'.

As another process is also running and updating a file - which I have 
excluded but is not (.BOINC Manager) - it displays the scanning of that 
other file, and resumes by scanning .bash_history over and over again.

This happens also with any other file.

Remedy: disable clamonacc or go back to 0.101.5.

Regards, Frans.
