Recent error has me baffled...

[Eric Sandquist]

So where do I change this dir to something more palletable, such as /var/tmp
which has plenty of room and priviledges...

(Incidentally, I had temporarily changed perms on /root/tmp to 777 to check
against this problem being a permissiions issue and got the same result.)

Sounds like Clam can't write in that directory. My guess is it's only
writable by root (since it is /root it should be) and Clam drops
priviliges to user clamav when it executes, that's why it's stuck at
idle CPU, MS is just waiting for Clam to finish.
