Indeed. Try removing setting RLIMIT_NPROC and see if that causes the
problem. I noticed that deliver.c also uses setrlimit() unconditionally,
so I suggest to try that one as well, in case your Exim performs local
deliveries. Once you found which calls cause your problem, try using
getrlimit() to obtain their values, like Exim does with file descriptors,
and only call setrlimit() if needed.
