Package: exim
Version: 3.35-1woody2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Exim produces a lot of messages. I.e.:
Nov 25 13:35:12 szafir kernel: application bug: exim(24490) has SIGCHLD
set to SIG_IGN but calls wa
it().
Nov 25 13:35:13 szafir kernel: (see the NOTES section of 'man 2 wait').
Workaround activated.
Nov 25 13:36:15 szafir kernel: application bug: exim(25506) has SIGCHLD
set to SIG_IGN but calls wa
it().
Nov 25 13:36:15 szafir kernel: (see the NOTES section of 'man 2 wait').
Workaround activated.
This is because exim sets SIG_IGN on SIGCHLD signal and this is error
for Linux kernel.
The attached patch tries to fix the bug.

Version: 3.36-18.2+rm
The exim package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/420191 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
