The bug turned out to be a typo that got introduced at version 3.033
(i.e. only in testing releases) which occasionally dropped a character.
In my test case, 3 characters in a 1.6M message got lost.
I have now put back a new, fixed testing release as
ftp://ftp.cus.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programs/exim/Testing/exim-3.092.tar.gz
and the previously failing test case is installed in my test suite that
gets run on all new versions.
Anybody who is using any of the previous test releases 3.033 or higher
should upgrade to 3.092. If you don't want to do this, mail me for a
trivial patch.
Enjoy.
