I am thinking that this has to do with the new version of ClamAV.  I found
some options for clamscan to disable some of these limits, and put them in
clamav-wrapper.  Specifically, I set

ScanOptions="--max-files=0 --max-space=0 --max-recursion=0"

Questions:

*  Has anyone else come across this?
*  Since MailScanner already has timeouts for virus scanning, would you
think it is safe to run this way?
*  If yes, should this be the default?  (I'm not sure if versions < 0.60
support this - maybe put some comments in the clamav-wrapper script?)
*  Is "unrecognised" British for "unrecognized" or is it just misspelled?

Thanks.

Jason
