At least on FreeBSD 5.4 I think I've tracked the problem down to -lthr:

  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=110352

Using either -lpthread or simply not using -lthr clamd (for me) doesn't
crash (well, not yet :>).

Only happens to me with 0.90.1 in daemon mode.  With 0.90_x or 0.90.1 in
foreground mode it stays running afer the selfcheck.
