The fact that there is only one stack frame is confusing. I installed the package that Andreas supplied: http://downhill.aus.cc/debian/misc/exim4-daemon-heavy_4.61-1.0.0.debug_i386.deb (md5: 1adecd15e58afe4f06d35b41bbda8871) The binary should be in there as well. (you can extract it with ar if you don't have Debian) exim -bV shows this: Exim version 4.61 #1 built 26-Apr-2006 17:49:02 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge 2006 Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.2.52: (December 3, 2003) Support for: crypteq iconv() IPv6 PAM Perl GnuTLS move_frozen_messages Content_Scanning Old_Demime Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz dnsdb dsearch ldap ldapdn ldapm mysql nis nis0 passwd pgsql Authenticators: cram_md5 cyrus_sasl plaintext spa Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral iplookup manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore/mbx autoreply lmtp pipe smtp Fixed never_users: 0 Size of off_t: 8 Configuration file is /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated Greetings, Michel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) - GPGrelay v0.959 iD8DBQFEUfrd2Vs+MkscAyURAkdIAJsGjzKUnzG8j1I9ZQzj9R6VZAwJ7wCgnUq6 ILoKOmu3Y9u86linsQWCqOU= =sxKV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
