Subject: [Exim] 3.36 -D problem
This morning I tried to type something like this on a 3.36 installation:

    mailq -DSPOOL=/path/to/alt/spool


and I accidently typed this:

    mailq -D=/path/to/alt/spool


exim ran away, consuming memory and cycles for about 5 minutes before I
killed it (I had switched to another window). I realize this is a typo
and exim isn't required to behave nicely since I screwed up, but I felt
either I don't understand what's going on or there's a problem.

I also know 3.36 is old, but I thought the same problem might exist in 4.
