Dear Gentoo - experts

I don't know if it was the gcc-upgrade to 8.2.0-r6 p1.7 but since some short time ago the freshclam process is stressing one core as long as it runs.
Reproduceabe always by systemctl start clamav-freshclam or manually starting freshclam (at the end, after some minutes used, control-c)
Code:
# freshclam
ClamAV update process started at Wed Mar  6 15:12:26 2019
main.cld is up to date (version: 58, sigs: 4566249, f-level: 60, builder: sigmgr)
Downloading daily-25380.cdiff [100%]

:q
^CUpdate process terminated
 ~ # freshclam
ClamAV update process started at Wed Mar  6 15:22:15 2019
main.cld is up to date (version: 58, sigs: 4566249, f-level: 60, builder: sigmgr)
Downloading daily-25380.cdiff [100%]
^CUpdate process terminated
 ~ # freshclam

Downloading daily-25380.cdiff [100%]

It does download the update but then somehow hangs?
Seems it did not finish the daily-25380 at all.
Tested clamav 0.101.0 & 0.101.1

Used useflags for clamav: app-antivirus/clamav-0.101.0::gentoo [0.101.1::gentoo] USE="bzip2 iconv ipv6 xml -clamdtop -doc -libressl -metadata-analysis-api -milter (-selinux) -static-libs -test (-uclibc)"

Thank you for any idea.

Perhaps I found it, but not in this forum or anywhere else so I let this post stand for someone else give it a try.

As freshclam hangs up on updating the daily signatures as a diff, the diff-routine, or the database itself might be damaged.
So I searched for a way to reset the whole clamav-database, but no luck.

Fustrated and unwilling to wait lead to following:
1) stop the demons (clamd or frechclam, with systemd: systemctl stop clamav-daemon && systemctl stop clamav-freshclam)
2) mv /var/lib/clamav/ to somewhere lese
3) emerge clamav again
4) run freshclam manually to download and fill /var/lib/clamav/ signatures new

Now freshclam downloaded main, daily and bytecode, and can be rerun telling me databases are up to date. I hope this was it and a new daily doesn't start the cpu-eater again.

I have the same problem here. I thought about a re-install, but then I decided to search this forum first.

Did the re-install fix your problem? I suspect yes, since its been several days since you posted. Please let us know.

Several days after yes, no cpu-eating freshclam appeared.
A "systemctl stop clamav-freshclam && freshclam" tells me the signatures are up to date.

I believe a database-refresh would be sufficient, but as I don't know what file to exactly clean, I moved/deleted the whole directory with a save re-emerge.
Don't be surprised that the systemd (or openrc?) initscripts don't work after that, they demand a manual "freshclam" execution first. (as I remember, and they will tell you in console)

I straced it, and it actually does something:

Stuff like this repeats over and over again. And awfully slow.

Update:

After 35 min, it finished and returned:
