Subject: [exim] Exim Segfaulting under higher message load
Hi Guys,

I'm experiencing a nasty problem that is hanging my system up. When
there are a lot of messages coming through our queue Exim seems to
segfault with these kind of messages:

[ 1501.998105] exim[5121]: segfault at a8 ip 080dddd6 sp bfe03f00
error 4 in exim[8048000+c6000]
[ 1606.158876] exim[5464]: segfault at a8 ip 080dddd6 sp bfce5de0
error 4 in exim[8048000+c6000]

The problem is that Exim takes over the apache-pid then, because most
of the time it's processing an email sent by webmail. Is this
something that you guys seen before?
Just some information:

ESMTP Exim 4.69
Linux cp.a61.nl 2.6.26-1-xen-686 #1 SMP Fri Mar 13 22:30:40 UTC 2009
i686 GNU/Linux
(so a DomU running on Xen 3.2-1)
Debian 5.0

Thanks in advance for any suggestions
