Testing this further on 2 more systems I found,

[I uncommented and commented the lines to use softlimit and chpst at
each time].

On Mandrake 9.2 with run script as,
# cat run
#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
#exec  softlimit -a 40000000  /usr/local/sbin/clamd
exec chpst -m 40000000 /usr/local/sbin/clamd

It worked.

On my friend's RH  Enterprise Linux ES release 3 with run script as,
# cat /var/service/Clam/run
#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
exec /usr/local/bin/chpst -m 40000000 /usr/local/sbin/clamd
#exec softlimit -a 40000000 /usr/local/sbin/clamd

This did not work, I get the pthread error I mentioned in first mail.

The major difference was that first one was using daemontools while the
second one was using runit. Unfortunately it is office hours and so he
cannot test it till evening on the second system. I can test my system
any time.


Thanks for the patience.
