If you Google for that you'll find several suggestions, most of which
indicate that something has either corrupted the DB file or the system's
DB library has been changed, or has a bug.

If you stop exim and remove all the files (yes, all of them)
from /var/spool/exim/db, restart exim again - what happens?
