4.84 was released on Mon, 11 Aug 2014
commit 93cad488 was commited on Fri, 29 Aug 2014

That commit will fix the issue he's seeing. If you follow the thread
on http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/exim/users/100138, you'll see
in the last message the gentleman who reported it was also the one who
confirmed the commit above fixed the symptoms for him (and we had
tested it on our systems as well). I also sent a message to the
maintainers ML suggesting that it be included as part of their package
maintained patches, but ultimately that's up to the distro package
maintainers to decide to adopt it or not.
