} We run Exim on a few of our Solaris 2.4/2.5.1 on Sparc, and
} I noticed that on all of them, the file "wait-remote_smtp.pag" is
} over 120 megabytes in size.

Check its real size using "ls -s"
dbm files are sparse - they have large blocks of all zeroes within them
which are not even allocated by the OS (unless you have a dumb one like
DOS). Hence the file length can look huge, but the blocks used by the
file be quite small.
