Whilst playing around with the latest version of ClamAV I notice that it
now prints this warning:

configure: WARNING: The installed pcre version may contain a security bug.
Please upgrade to 8.38 or later: http://www.pcre.org.

There is some information on the security fixes in 8.38 at
https://blog.fuzzing-project.org/29-Heap-Overflow-in-PCRE.html but I
couldn't find anything specific on the Exim mailing list.

May be worth bumping the PCRE version.
