Ok, that's at least a data point of *where* we can start to try to
figure out why the value is truncated.

Another good data point. You said Debian Stable 4.80. Did you mean
4.80.1? Or is the security fix backported to 4.80 for your release?

Yeah, the change in behavior makes it impossible to debug in the ACL.
We'll have to trace through the code to figure out what's different
about debug mode versus non-debug mode.

No, not yet, but if you can give us a repeatable case, we can track it
down. We will need:
1) A simple exim.conf
2) A MAIL FROM that causes this.
3) A RCPT TO that will be accepted by the exim.conf above.
4) An email headers and body that will be accepted by the exim.conf above.
I'll feed all of this to swaks with local custom builds and see if I
can repeat it with 4.80, 4.82, and current master.
