Thanks for your response. Corrected RHEL version #.
$ more /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.3 (Santiago)
SELinux has always been disabled on this machine.
It looks like we have a Fedora package installed. Here it is.
$ repoquery -i exim
Name : exim
Version : 4.72
Release : 4.el6
Architecture: x86_64
Size : 3948528
Packager : Fedora Project
Group : System Environment/Daemons
URL : http://www.exim.org/
Repository : epel
Summary : The exim mail transfer agent
Source : exim-4.72-4.el6.src.rpm
Description :
Exim is a message transfer agent (MTA) developed at the University of...
I did a compilation on my own (using out-of-the-box makefile settings) and the problem no longer occurs.
At this point, I have a work-around, and the criteria is narrower than I originally thought. It may not be worth resolving, unless you think it's a security problem. Let me know what you think.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: [exim-dev] exim-4.72-2 segfaults on redhat enterprise linux 7.2 with custom configuration -C
Please could you clarify a few things:-
- What OS are you running on - I am not aware of RHEL 7.x being
available as yet, so 7.2 seems unlikely
- Where was the rpm from? Exim is not part of RHEL6. EPEL has a
higher version number than you are stating.
- Is selinux enabled? If so what happens if you disable it[*]?
Nigel.
* NB I consider selinux to be a good thing, but it is sometimes prone
to provoking unexpected (at first glance) behaviour, so with
something like this, just checking its not a selinux policy side
effect is worth doing. Disabling selinux on a production server
just because you cannot be bothered to get the policy right is a
bit silly.
