Not quite right; the change was for a different circumstance, namely,
when Exim was waiting for a response to an SMTP command (with a
timeout).
I will take a look at the ACL delay situation and see if it can be
improved, but note that exiwhat was never designed as something to be
run regularly. It is intended as an occasional one-off for an admin to
use when trying to figure out what Exim is doing.
