We found changing the threading lib helped a lot with stability.  (ie
clamd  would be locking up throughout the day under load without the
change). Its been stable for over a month this way on our boxes (well
over 100K emails daily)

Compile as normal and add the following to libmap.conf

% cat /etc/libmap.conf
[clamd]
libc_r.so.5             libthr.so.2
libc_r.so.6             libthr.so.2
libthr.so.2             libthr.so.2
libpthread.so.1         libthr.so.2
libpthread.so.2         libthr.so.2


However, in the last day we have seen the daemon exiting with a sig6
using the default clamav-devel port.  My guess some new spam or virus
hitting a bug.  Not sure yet.  Removing

--enable-experimental

from the ports Makefile seems to have helped that issue as well.
