We're having trouble with a mail message that is causing exim to SEGV.
We're using Exim-4.43 with exiscan and the perl module. We do get a log
entry for the incoming email giving the sender and the user claims that the
mail is deliverd (she gets lots of copies!). We're running clamav
anti-virus but there's no hint in either the exim logs or clamav logs of a
problem. The remote site just sees the connection vanish (its an idenitcal
exim binary).

Does anyone recognise this sequence of system calls and can take a guess at
where the problem might be? I don't mind spending some time debugging this
but I could do with a clue as to where to begin. It looks like it packs up
right after logging the sender.

32540 time(NULL)                        = 1113991397
32540 write(4, "2005-04-20 11:03:17 Received fro"..., 204) = 204
32540 close(4)                          = 0
