Responding to my own post - looked it up, found:

An OS with an August 1997 release date, superseded in October 1998, is bound to
be a bit fragile w/r compilation of new source ten years on.
Likewise, hardware of that era is best employed as a low-reliability high-noise
space heater nowadays, so Exim may not be the only thing you need to consider
upgrading.
HTH,
