I'm not convinced this is correct, since at the point in the code
where the panic occurs, Exim believes it is writing to a disk file and
short writes should not occur.

Artem, can you reproduce the bug when running Exim under ktrace -di and/or
with the patch to log.c below? The st_mode value might tell us something
interesting.

Tony.
