You are getting the message because you have set freeze_tell_mailmaster
in your configuration. Since it is complaining about a subprocess, I
deduce you have also set remote_max_parallel to some number greater than
one.
The message means that when Exim ran a sub-process to deliver to that
address, the subprocess terminated with status 0x000b. This is bad and
indicates that the process died on signal 11, which on Linux is SIGSEGV
(at least on the version I looked at).
In other words, Exim is crashing for some reason. Does it do that
repeatedly on those addresses? Is it always the same addresses? Are
there any core files? Various bugs were fixed in 1.62, but nothing that
seems to relate to this.
If it is repeatable, try forcing a delivery with debugging turned on,
exim -d9 -M <messag-id>
and send me (not the list!) the output. It might give some clue as to
what the problem is.
