Depends what case... the Debian bug discussion points the finger at
Apache, specifically mod_php and/or FastCGI as the culprit, have you
tried there for a resolution?

If your web appliction is indeed invoking Exim (as sendmail), you
might try telling it to send SMTP instead - this would avoid Apache
spawning Exim altogether.
