This may be related since I get a SIGBUS error with exim on a SunOS 4.1.3
machine, built with gcc 2.6.3 . (on the other hand this maybe something else
since an acc built exim also dumps at the same spot).
To date, we have 2 exim servers both running under solaris 2.5.1 which
has been fine. This is using a configure file that's been fine with those.
Thanks
trace shows:
