I am using 5.2.1-RELEASE-p1 and exim-4.30_1 with no problems.

You have a seriouse problem. I would not remove bits of the source code
just so you stop getting error messages. It's asking for trouble.
However, I have no idea what that could be...

Do you have a corrupted hard disk? What's the inode table saying? Any
other messages in the logs? What's your disk usage? What does exim -d
say?
