yep. and is happening on at least three systems, two of them where the
only mail is five outbound log reports a day. all were cvsupped about
the same time some weeks back when this all started.

started maybe two-three weeks ago. but could have been a month gap
before a cvsup back then. have cvsupped in the last two days again.

am now doing a full cvsup, no -s, and blown away /usr/obj, before
building kernel and world. will do so again now, just in case. then i
will force exim rebuild.

that's all i can think of. eye of newt?
