[bug ?] pop3 proxy/cssd cpu usage

jam59
Hi.

Just upgraded from ASG V8 to UTM 9.000 (fresh iso + backup file).
All was then fine.

This night, upgraded from UTM 9.000 to UTM 9.001-18.

pop3 proxy is now not working anymore :-(

I got this (UTM pop3 proxy log) for each message using pop3 proxy
..
2012:08:11-07:47:01 firewall pop3proxy[3960]: Connect to cssd failed: Connection refused
2012:08:11-07:47:08 firewall pop3proxy[3960]: Connect to cssd failed: Connection refused
2012:08:11-07:47:16 firewall pop3proxy[3960]: Connect to cssd failed: Connection refused
2012:08:11-07:47:23 firewall pop3proxy[3960]: Fatal: Scan failed due to some weird reason
...

I've try with single or both engines. 
Message size doesn't impact problem.

I also notice that cpu usage is now very high with 9.001 : average above 70% with summit at 100%. consumer is cssd...

Just before, with 9.000, average CPU was less that 15/20% with very rare and short summits to 90/100%

My CPU is AMD Duron socket A @1.7Ghz with 2G RAM.
Home usage (3 users max).

only workaround now : disable pop3 proxy :-(((

    In fact disabling/re-enabling the POP3 proxy antivirus feature solve the problem.

    Super!  Thanks for letting us know.  I would have suggested a reboot, but your solution is a better one to know for environments where a reboot is undesirable.

    Cheers - Bob
