Useful, thanks.

Perhaps it's the only binary you've got which accesses the DB files in
the way which tickles them? Just a thought. It's interesting that David
Robertson is reporting a similar problem, but the symptoms differ -
probably due to the number of read/write ops to the affected DB file,
triggered by differences in volume of mail, queue runners and their
frequency, and his retry rules.
I assume that neither of you have changed Exim in any way at all
immediately before these errors started happening?
