Patch to fix queue runners that are not starting

This patch is only for the release of 4.97 like the port is using now. 
In the next minor version of exim I expect that the changes are included since they are already in exims main-branch.
Comment 3 Niels Kobschätzki 2023-12-19 05:11:41 UTC 
(In reply to Niels Kobschätzki from comment #2)
I am using this patch already myself and successfully build exim on poudriere with it.

Testbuilds are fine, simple run-test is fine as well.
