    Hello,

    Please, don't use chkrootkit 0.46 on production machines.
    The "chkproc" process sends a SIGXFSZ (25) signal to init,
    that interprets this signal as a "disaster" and reboots
    after a 30s sleep.

    I'm contacting the chkrootkit maintainer to fix this
    problem.

    Sorry,
    Cordeiro
