Yes, interesting you should mention it: I've experienced it many times on
various versions of Exim self-built on RH7.3 but (strangely) have never
really thought of reporting it, not least because I'd never identified a
consistent situation when it happened. I suppose I just disregarded it my
mind as a "weird random crash", assuming it was something wrong with my X
libraries or something.

Perhaps Philip can shed some light on whether this is a bug in Eximon
and/or something that can be easily fixed/worked-around?
