It does.  However:

1. It happens for me even when there is no check_spool_inodes value set,
   or when that value is set to 0.

2. According to the log data I posted when I submitted this bug, it
   appears that Exim thinks 4096 inodes are free but there is no disk
   space free.  That is a different bug.

3. Also, on looking at that now, it seems odd that it thinks a 6K
   message would use only 1 block on a 4K block FS.
