Some of this is very simple: Between 5.1 and 5.2 one of the kernel APIs
changed (free diskspace). If you compiled Exim on an older 5.x, you will
need to recompile it, as it like core dump when checking for free space.
Now, I believe the OpenLDAP client is threaded. The default threading
library on FreeBSD 5.2 has also changed. It is just a guess, but I don't
think OpenLDAP cares for libpthread, and you need to map it back to using
libc_r.
