What filesystem are you using?
If it is a journaling filesystem, and the journal had filled right up
and was being flushed to a busy disk subsystem there is a chance that
all writes could hang. This might well cause a logging gap for exim
(since it often logs after a disk synchronous operation) but not for a
pop daemon which might not perform any disk synchronous writes prior to
logging.
