Jeremy,
I found segfault messages like these in kernel.log:
exim[8588]: segfault at 0 ip 000055ef14d00011 sp 00007fffe42f1940
error 4 in exim[55ef14c23000+11e000]
(All having identical location description)
They don't seem to match your description of 2029, but all are
segfaults, and error 4.
In my case I have only found lost connections due to this that involve
two server IPs:
12.130.137.235
199.7.206.234
Both these IPs resolve to Responsys Inc. servers, but the lost emails
were actually from bulk mailers Staples, Lenovo, Tuesday Morning,
JCPenney, Monoprice, etc.. (identified in the logged connections)
