Hi,

That could be. Is it easy to fix this for ktrace ?

Anyway, that still doesn't solve the problem for me, since
clamd with libpthreads is extremly CPU hungry and is slow.

I really miss something to profile like strace on solaris to
see where it spends most CPU cycles. The problem is not that
it doesn't work, the problem is that it works far too slow.

Do you have any ideas ?

Martin
