I feared that would be the case. I do use exactly the same set-up on Linux
without this problem.

I've run 'exim -bh 127.0.0.1' under ltrace and put the final part of the
output at:

http://drizzle.zigg.net/exim.ltrace.txt

(there are some long lines that won't look nice in an e-mail message). I can
make the whole output available if anyone thinks that would be helpful.

It looks as if it all goes wrong when the call to read() to collect input
returns -1. Why this should happen only when Exim is linked with libpq I
cannot comprehend.
