Jason,

This is from the exim 4.12 announcement:
**************************

There are also five Cygwin specific changes
 1) Use setgroups (requires Cygwin 1.3.13 or more recent).
*******************************

If you run with -d you will see that exim sheds all supplementary
groups. As a first step you should make sure that the primary
group of SYSTEM is 544 on your system and not 18 (as it used to be
6 months back). That's needed to setuid, but I am not exactly
sure how it relates to wsock. 

Can you better explain your setup, i.e. what user are you 
running exim under normally, when you debug, when you strace, etc....

Don't you think that failing to start wsock deserves a system_printf?
