	FYI, in case anyone's curious... I found the problem, which
I'll report to the clamav developer list momentarily. The hang is
caused by clamav's inability to handle redundant entries in the config
file; in my particular case, the config file had two identical clamuko
sections (from a hasty merge, I assume) but once I determined the
problem I was able to reproduce it using several different directives.
e.g. the following snippet in your clamav.conf will cause the hang:

ScanMail
