Something like this occured on one of our machines.
The mainboard turned out to be faulty. You should try to compile
the Linux kernel e.g. 10 times - if the compile process stops
with "signal 11", your hardware is to blame.
At our site Exim mostly crashed when forking. The child process
that was launched to send a warning message to the sender after
several days died.
By that, messages never got bounced and stayed in the queue.
You might mail the result of
"strace -f exim -M message-id"
to me - however, another mystique about this phenomena was, that
the crash sometimes did not appear when you called exim by strace.
(This is a bit similiar to your findings).
Greetings,
Georg
