 Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
 -------------------------------------------
@@ -99,6 +99,24 @@ PH/17 The API for radiusclient changed at release 0.4.0. Unfortunately, the
 PH/18 Installed Lars Mainka's patch for the support of CRL collections in
       files or directories, for OpenSSL.
 
+PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
+      file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
+      ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
+      the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
+      fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
+      for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
+      run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
+      for failure.
+
+PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing
+      the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return
+      from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
+      the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
+      string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
+      (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.
+      There were reports of junk text (parts of files, etc) appearing after
+      "input=".
