As for the file copy trick, it is quite tempting, but it seems like it would ultimately break as soon as I updated anything, so that doesn't sound like a good fix.
Upgrading is actually really fast, easy, & and your most reliable bet to get this up as fast as possible.
See the bottom of the release notes for instructions /pdf/Zimbra OS Release Notes.pdf

4.5.7 also had a bunch of tomcat & ldap stability enhancements - 4.5.8 is just a release under Yahoo's license to appease the lawyers

I edited my above post & put the original bug link in (probably after you had started replying).

One theory is that since clamAV 0.90 has a very long start-up, and zmmtaconfig/watchdog runs once a minute, it's entirely possible that corruptions are happening when a second clamAV is started. So getting a faster start-up (0.91.1) may fix this.
