Thanks a lot! Maybe we should restart the two daemons daily or weekly?

I will change the default IdleTimeout to 600 secs with the upcoming 
clamav-0.81 release. Which fixes the freshclam proxy problem and some 
OLE issues.

But I need some more time (with the postgresql-8.0 release also), 
because we are just moving our office and so I'm loaded with work.
