I THINK it's working now.

I found the line in /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template 'file =
/var/mail/$local_part' that needs to be changed to 'file =
/var/mail/$local_part_+data'.  (The line is 72% of the way through a 79K
file.)  Then I needed to run 'update-exim4.conf -v|.||||||||

After that, it looks like all of my undelivered files have been
delivered and the paniclog has not returned.
