Hi,

Upgraded clamav from 0.90.1 to 0.90.2 this morning. Since then scanning 
takes like forever and the mailqueue grows fast.

in 'top' i can see that clamscan hogs the cpu for atleast 30-45 seconds 
while scanning, even if it's a mail with no attachment:

I had no problem with 0.90.1.

Anyone seeing the same problem?

I'm using Debian Sarge and apt for upgrading

Thank you
