OK, this is not quite an exim problem, but I hope someone can clue me in...

I am running debian lenny. I did an upgrade last night, and now exim
won't restart via the /etc/init.d/exim4 script; it fails with

selene:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/exim4 start
Starting MTA:start_daemon -p /var/run/exim4/exim.pid /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd
-q30m
exim: incompatible command-line options or arguments
selene:/etc/init.d#

I put in an echo statement; it's the start_daemon line that's failing.
The strange thing is that there's nothing wrong with exim itself:

selene:/etc/init.d# /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m
selene:/etc/init.d# ps auxwww | grep exim
100      12585  0.0  0.0  83140  1488 ?        Ss   05:48   0:00 
/usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m
root     12615  0.0  0.0   8236   816 pts/8    R+   05:49   0:00 grep exim
selene:/etc/init.d#


Anyone else have this issue? And how do I fix it?
