Exim keeps track of what each process is doing so it can output it for you
when it receives SIGUSR1. You are overflowing the buffer where this is kept
for some reason (256 bytes).

More debug output from before the error occurs would help figure out why, at
least as far back to the line that starts "-------------->".
