+ 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a

+    was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is

+ 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
+    descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
+    unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
+    systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
