The exim port maintainer referred me to this mailing list because he's
short of time at the moment, so I'm doing a patch that he'll look over
and commit if it looks good. :-)

I don't know specifics, Sheldon Hearn (Exim maintainer) said it was
threaded perl, I confirmed that.

Yes, it did. Now since I know what to look for, I dug around the
/usr/src tree and came up with:
# Exim will segfault with threaded perl, so refuse to build.
.if defined(PERL_THREADED) && ${PERL_THREADED} == "true"
BROKEN= "exim does not work with PERL_THREADED=true"
.endif
added to the port's Makefile to deal with the PERL_THREADED=false case
without complaining.
Your help has been appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
