If _all_ the tripwire (v 1.13) rules were hit, there'd be ~7750 characters
in the header just of those rule names plus commas and newlines ... a bit
more for the slightly larger v1.11 set.

So I can believe that the other data and rule names in the header could
add up to 450 characters or so and exceed 8K.

I'm not sure why exim is feeding the header value to string_sprintf, 
though.

The most obvious workaround is to shorten the rule names.

s/FVGT_TRIPWIRE_/TW_/g will cut about 5k when all of them hit.
