(What a fright that subject line gave me (whatwith my changes to the
Postfix code)... Until I saw it concerns Exim:-):-)

I have really very little to add... That version number for Exim seems
a tad newer than what the Exim gurus on the list (Martin etc) usually
quote, so I'd guess some queue file format has changed/been added...
Making the MS code that "interpretes" the queue file(s) carp a bit...
Does the release notes for that version of Exim give any such clues?
Other than that... --lint and --debug are good places to start
looking, just as Phil advices...
