I had the same problem, however I was never able to locate the actual
cause of the signal, so I could only assume it was part of the kernel or
a misdirected signal from exim. It happened rarely enough that couldn't
track it down even after adding line after line of debugging printfs,
and it never happened when I was running just the one debugging process.

It was always caused when I used ${run with an external program to do
some sort of processing for me so I killed off the idea and now I do all
my external processing in a daemon that listens on a socket (using a CLI
PHP script - ha!). That removed the problem so I never looked into any
further.

Not much of a help I know, but that's all I've got for SIGTERMs and I'm
pretty sure you've mentioned before that you use ${run in your setup.
