Hello,
I have encounter a problem with exim since 2 weeks or so. I am using the
sarge version.
>From time to time, there is an exim4 process that eats 100% of the CPU
for hours (it doesn't stop until i kill it with a "kill -9" signal). The
mainlog keep telling me that another process is handling a lockfile.
Here is what i think is relevant concerning the bug :
All the error begin here (first occurence of the word "lock").

I think this error is pretty grave, but i am not sure that my own
configuration is not problematic (i use a LDAP db to lookup mail user
properties...).
It should be great to have this correction in Sarge, since it made my
Sarge server pretty unstable.
If you have any hints or you need to have more information, please
contact me...
Kind regard

Doing so. Please, if the situation happens again, file a new report
and look for the entropy pool.
