Subject: [EXIM] Format error in spool file

hello,
I'm running exim 1.80 under HP-UX 10.20 and ran into
the following problem:

eximon complained having a "Format error in spool file"
and showed a size that was bigger than the message_size_limit(3M):

75m 1718M 0xgClS-0001fc-01 ub5e@???
*** Format error in spool file ***

As I looked at 0xgClS-0001fc-01-H I remarked, that the last
line was very strange and was missing a newline:

1801548396- sruhe.de

Philip told me to remove the last line, and then, exim could
deliver the message. So far, this error (?) occured 3 or 4 times.

did anybody have similar problems ?

   tschuess
        Stefan


PS: btw, eximon dumped core as I wanted to look at the headers
