Hi,

I have observed the following a while ago, when my clamd started playing
weird on me:

exim would connect to clamd and try sending it something, but there
would never be a response [due to clamd being f*ed up].
Now, exim was waiting and waiting for a response. Shortly after I was up
to a few hundred exim processes all waiting for clamd to do something.

Is there any way to specify a timeout on the clamd control socket? At
least then mail delivery would continue, albeit unscanned.
