[exim] geximon leaving tail processes sucking up cpu

hi all,

Does anyone have a fix for geximon leaving tail processes running, using
up 100% cpu, after it exits?

I see a Debian (which I'm using) bug logged 18 months ago:

    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=888734

but no action.

I could obviously run it from a wrapper that pkilled tail processes
looking at exim log files, etc, but…

Or do people not use geximon these days?

thanks very much.

cheers,
calum.
