Just for the records: I have just encountered the same loop problem.
This is the loop:
open("/var/spool/exim4/db/__db.wait-remote_smtp_smarthost",
O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0640) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
open("/var/spool/exim4/db/__db.wait-remote_smtp_smarthost",
O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0640) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
open("/var/spool/exim4/db/__db.wait-remote_smtp_smarthost",
O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0640) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
stat64("/var/spool/exim4/db/wait-remote_smtp_smarthost", 0xbfbcecd0) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/var/spool/exim4/db/__db.wait-remote_smtp_smarthost",
O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0640) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
open("/var/spool/exim4/db/__db.wait-remote_smtp_smarthost",
O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0640) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
open("/var/spool/exim4/db/__db.wait-remote_smtp_smarthost",
O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0640) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
stat64("/var/spool/exim4/db/wait-remote_smtp_smarthost", 0xbfbcecd0) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
I bet it's a libdb bug.
It's basically a plain debian sarge system:
ii exim4-daemon-l 4.50-8sarge2 lightweight exim MTA (v4) daemon
ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-18 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [runtime]
I renamed the __db.wait-remote_smtp_smarthost file (thus moving it out of the
way) and everything was fine.
