I have the same thing in my logs as well (Exim 4.50, FreeBSD 4.10) and
the text in the log is clearly from my system.
I suspect it is not unrelated to the read() call at line 1612 of
smtp_in.c failing to check for rc less than zero ... but I'm not
familiar enough with the Exim code to say whether it's quite as simple
as that !
