Hi, No I have made no changes to exim but FreeBSD has been patched using the new binary update tool. Though I do not recall having applied any updates during the last week or two.
So far a I have applied the latest patches to FreeBSD bringing it to 7.1-p4, rebooted and dumped the exim db files and so far this looks to have stabilised the system but then it was stable for some time before this problem occurred.
