That really does look as though the crash has happened in the DB
library, when trying to open the retry hints file (the one for which it
has just created a lock). That's why I asked whether you are sure you
deleted all the hints files, in particular, /var/spool/exim/db/retry*

Hmm. Interesting, because your 4.50 build had the same Berkeley DB. That
casts doubt on the theory that it is a change of DB library that
provokes the problem. If you look at the dbfn.c source module, at line
150 you will find these two lines:
sprintf(CS buffer, "%s/db/%s", spool_directory, name);
EXIM_DBOPEN(buffer, flags, EXIMDB_MODE, &(dbblock->dbptr));
That's the call to open the hints file. Try inserting this statement
immediately afterwards:
DEBUG(D_hints_lookup|D_retry|D_route|D_deliver)
debug_printf("returned from EXIM_DBOPEN\n");
If you see that output, the crash didn't happen inside the DB library.
If you don't, it did.
