OK - well, I just did likewise, downloaded dag's source rpm and did
rebuild and install - I still have a problem but I haven't gotten the
out of memory error (at least not yet)

actually, I did have the last line, I just didn't include it...
define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `clamav, spamassassin')dnl

and I figured that I should only have 1 entry for clamav
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER - I did the dnl for the unix-socket after I changed it
to tcp but I commented out the line so I could switch back and forth, I
thought you would get the idea.

Thanks for the notion that dag's rpm wouldn't work. 

problem still shows in /var/log/maillog

so I will switch back to tcp sockets to see if it works.
