Does the segfault always happen in the same place? Install the
exim-debuginfo package which contains the debug information for the
Fedora build of Exim, and use gdb to work out where it's happening. Also
try to either get a core dump or reproduce it with Exim running in gdb.
File a bug in Red Hat bugzilla with the backtrace.
