Maybe so but in that case the proper behavior is a graceful exit. An
error message like "out of RAM" can go to stderr. It is still a bug to
hang and do nothing.
I do not know whether the bug is ClamAV itself, or GRML, or Linux, some
interaction. But out of memory is a classic testing condition that a
lot of programmers neglect to handle.
