Exim 4.66 Causing Kernel Panics?

2007-03-13 Thread Don O'Neil
Anyone aware of a reason why a fresh build/install of exim 4.66 would cause
kernel panics and reboots on my FreeBSD 6.1 machine?

My machine, just out of the blue this morning, started rebooting every 3
minutes I narrowed it down to exim I think... As long as I never started
up exim 4.66 the machine didn't have the problem... But as soon as I started
it up, whammo... Panic and reboot.

I've since rolled back to 4.63 and the problem seems to be resolved at least
for the moment.

The strangest thing is that I upgraded to 4.66 several days ago and the
problem didn't show up until this morning. I'm not 100% sure the problem is
exim but that's the only thing I could narrow it down to. Perhaps there is a
new exim bug/exploit that I just didn't get hit with until today? I deleted
the message queue just in case it was corrupt. 

ANY ideas from anyone as to what could be causing this (hardware perhaps?)
would be appreciated.

It shouldn't, of course.  Please follow up with the panic in the usual
way (developers handbook, PR, etc)

I'm running exim 4.66 on FreeBSD 6.2 without problems.  This probably  
doesn't really help you much, but it should let you know that the  
problem isn't universal.


Of course my instance of exim isn't actually doing anything at the  
moment, which might have something to do with it.
