i386.   clamav, spamassassin/mimedefang are all slower on amd64

I think 2 separate things were going on.  First, the daemon would 
hang without switching to the alternate threading lib.  e.g. if you 
connect to port 3310 and issue a PING, it would just stall and never 
return a PONG.

The other issue only cropped up a few days ago with certain crafted 
messages (we are speculating here) causing the daemon to exit on sig 6.

We were using the dev version and prev release version out of the 
ports and have now switched to .90.  The problem of the daemon 
getting stuck was still there with the default threading lib with 
.90.  Changing to libthr makes it work just fine.
