Ah yes, there does seem to be an infelicity there. In the Exim daemon it
explicitly sets

signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN);

before forking off delivery processes, but I see that this won't happen
in the inetd case (which I think you said you used). I think if you
insert

if (!synchronous_delivery) signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN);

just before line 2544 of exim.c in version 1.82 it should cure the
problem.
