Ok that really does sound like a large, OS dependent bug. To figure that 
out, someone (not me... arhh! no time) would need to know pretty much 
every single detail about your system, patches and updates. Try checking 
the changelog for anything you've updated lately to see if they have 
done anything to signals, sleep, or alarms. I'd really have to look at 
how exim implements the queue runner timer to give a better idea at what 
to look for.

However, if you want a temporary fix that could pass as a permanent one, 
just run exim with "exim -bd" and add a crontab entry for the queue runner.

*/30 * * * * /usr/bin/exim -q 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null

This will start a queue runner every 30 minutes and never tell you if 
it's broken ;) If you remove the "1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null" it will email 
any output from the command to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Finding the source of that bug could be of more use though, as I doubt 
exim is the only process experiencing problems.
