[Users] Exim 4 crashes kernel on Debian Etch 64bit

[Vasily Tarasov]

This is a known issue and it is fixed already in fresh kernels. However
there are no fresh OpenVZ prebuild kernels in Debian archive at the
moment (Thorsten and Ola are working on it now), but you can use the
package from debian.systs.org.

HTH,
Vasily.
