The new behaviour was intentional, following requests/discussions on the
list. See the ChangeLog. Clearly I introduced a caching bug.

I am pleased that there are people on this list who can fix Exim bugs.
The Exim community cannot rely on my always being online and having
immediate time to devote to this.

The bottom line with any Open Source software is that you have to fix it
yourself if nobody else will fix it for you. I make no apology for that.

Thanks, Nico. It's good to have you around picking up things like this.
I do so like it when I find a bug report and a fix in the same
collection of messages.

I'll get this patch on later in the week, and maybe think about 4.32 for
about 10 day's time.
