Good diagnosis, thanks.

Exim should be using R_NEXT, but the previous code has worked for
everyone until FreeBSD 8, so I suspect a value change from the defaults
(which would be an ABI change too).

I filed a bug with a patch which is less likely to run into issues on
obscure platforms where I've no idea what flags do or do not exist, when
Exim has apparently worked fine with the old value before.
