--- Comment #3 from Phil Pennock <[email protected]>  2010-06-06 06:38:10 ---
Fundamentally bad idea.  If local_scan is crashing, we can't guarantee that we
have the data unmolested and can't meet the requirement to not arbitrarily lose
data.  The *only* safe way is to cause the last place which has the data
known-intact to retry later.

If someone has flaky code, it's probably best to package it up as a daemon
which can be talked to remotely via ${readsocket} or ${run} or av_scanner
cmdline and handle things with some degree of isolation.  But for code which
crashes inside the Exim process space, this is a definite WONTFIX.
