[exim] Segfaults due to corrupted berkeley db

Hello,

ocassionally somebody reports a segfault in exim. Usually the response is
"Delete the contents of $spooldir/db." People do this and the problem
goes away.

Is this the right way to handle the problem? I am wondering because I
recently received a bug report on the issue and do not want to cut
corners.
thanks, cu andreas
