Hi,

I'm using the latest Windows Clamav version (1.0.0).
I'm connected to clamd and I request a folder scan having 94,249 files,
10GB total.
The command I send is MULTISCAN [folder].
When scanner is over 9,075 files it stops working and the message is:

memory allocation of 1048576 bytes failed

Clamd stop running.
I'm running with next relevant settings in clamd.conf:

MaxThreads 6
ScanArchive yes
MaxScanSize 20M
MaxFileSize 10M
MaxFiles 150
MaxRecursion 10

The same test with the older 0.105 Clamav version works without trouble
using the same parameters.
What could be happening there?
Thank you

Jorge
