IMHO more debug-output should follow here, about the opened dbm-file.

Same here, it should show some more debug-output, i suppose it's dieing
while opening the db-file.

In the past exim had problems with the different dbm-libraries, mostly
because of mixed headers/libraries, see dbm_discuss in the doc directory.

try to run exim_dumpdb /var/spool/exim retry
i suppose it will die too, or build the test_dbfn tool and fiddle
around with it. If both fail, it is mosty probably a problem with your
dbm-library, try to update it, or force exim to use another dbm-library,
again see dbm-discuss for hints about this.
