Exim is probably installed setuid and your OS is probably defaulting to
not generating coredumps for setuid programs.

Turning on those coredumps is OS-dependent. On FreeBSD, set the
kern.sugid_coredump sysctl to 1 (instead of 0). With a Linux kernel,
it's the fs.suid_dumpable sysctl, aka /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable. Etc
etc.

(BTW: this belongs on exim-users, really)
