Then the system is fairly hosed. You should be able to run the tidy as exim, IIRC, but even so a lock-up like that is rare. My thoughts turn to the FreeBSD-SA-09:07.libc and the libc updates for db security issues and wondering whether the patch for your branch is bad -- it seems the most likely recent change. I've updated libc since that, but not recompiled Exim, and this is 7.0 amd64. No problems observed. -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
