The message that Exim was trying to set up to say what it is doing when
prodded by "exiwhat" was too long to fit into its buffer. The buffer is
256 bytes long.

How could this happen? I guess it might happen if it came across an
exceedingly long email address that it was trying to deliver. Most
messages that go into that buffer are very short.

Ah. Perhaps the command is rather long?
