I'm also getting this - exactly the same thing about once a day
(not a hugely busy server - 100s of e-mails a day). Also on
FreeBSD (4.11 in my case, RELENG_4_11 from April 1st). Exim 4.50
is the port from same date.
I had a quick look through the code, and the below check/log/corrent
was the only thing that struck me.

Am I barking up the wrong tree? I'm open to suggestions, if I
can help with more/different analysis.
No /etc/group in my log in the 17hrs since last night. :-)
No log like the above either. :-(
About a dozen logs of inputs sent before the greeting.
