Clamav-90_2 Lockup with freebsd 6.2 (fwd)

[Martin Blapp]

After further analyzing I think that pthread_cond_timedwait() in 
libpthread.so.2 has some issues.

While the default clamd worker timeout of 30 seconds is reached with
libc_r.so.6 and libthr.so.2 and pthread_cond_timedwait() returns ETIMEDOUT
there, libpthread.so doesn't get any ETIMEDOUT errors back at all, and the code
can never reach the part where the worker thread gets detached and the thread
count gets decreased.

With libpthread.so.2 pthread_cond_timedwait() returns always 0.

The manpage tells me:

>     The pthread_cond_timedwait() function atomically blocks the current
>     thread waiting on the condition variable specified by cond, and unblocks
>     the mutex specified by mutex.  The waiting thread unblocks only after
>     another thread calls pthread_cond_signal(3), or pthread_cond_broadcast(3)
>     with the same condition variable, or if the system time reaches the time
>     specified in abstime, and the current thread reacquires the lock on
>     mutex.

That doesn't seem to work with libpthread.so.2. Any hints ?
