I'm baffled.  Please explain why you might even think that adding SET
EXCEPTQ=Z might be in any way helpful.

Good, this means that you have the system updated so that when/if Paul and
I come up with a fix, you will be able to test it.

Don't expect the traps and hangs to go away until we find a way to
convince ClamAV to use less memory.

FWIW, still have Symantec's NAVOS2 installed on this system  Symantec is
still providing signature files, so every now and then, I pull updated
signatures and run NAVOS2, just to see if it still runs, which it does.  I
have no idea how good the signature coverage is compared to any of the
other AV tools.

The Symantec signature files are way larger than ClamAV's - about 500MB. 
However, since NAVOS2 was written with 32-bit systems in mind it does not
run out of memory.
