Bug Description

starting the clamav-daemon forks over 300 processes. To be compatible with upstart monitoring processes it should fork a maximum of two times

vagrant@vagrant:~$ sudo rm /tmp/strace.log
vagrant@vagrant:~$ sudo strace -o /tmp/strace.log -fFv /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon start
 * Starting ClamAV daemon clamd [ OK ]
vagrant@vagrant:~$ sudo egrep "\<(fork|clone)\>\(" /tmp/strace.log | wc | awk '{print $1}'
