It does.  The original install was Dag's and worked without a problem.  Then 
came an update which broke ClamTK's operation.  With the help of the ClamTK 
dev that was fixed, but now I have this problem at bootup.  What I haven't 
tried, and will today, is booting with chkconfig off, but then starting clamd 
from the CLI.  If that is problem-free maybe I will need to talk to Dag.
