I was looking into creating such a patch myself, and I came to the 
conclusion that to be useful the count would have to be stored in a 
shared-memory segment. I don't know enough about shmem portability 
issues to do this, so I kind of forgot about it...

Is there currently any shmem code in Exim at all?

If I should deside to look into it again, I'd probably have a look at 
the shmem abstractions in APR (Apache Portable Runtime) for guidance.
