Hmm. It really should output the error detail, shouldn't it? I'll fix
that one. Change the lines in daemon.c that read

        execv(argv[0], argv);   
        log_write(0, LOG_PANIC_DIE, "exec of exim -Mc failed");

to

        execv(argv[0], argv);   
        log_write(0, LOG_PANIC_DIE, "exec of exim -Mc failed: %s",
          strerror(errno));

"man execv" gives a list of possible reasons, but it would be nice to 
know which it actually is!
