fetchmail stopped working (woody).
This is driving me nuts. Everything else works fine. All of a
sudden, I can't pop mail, and I have no idea why:

---------------------------------------------------
Is the problem on my machine or my ISP's? Assuming this gets to the
list, I have no trouble sending mail out, but incoming just stalls on
a timeout, somewhere. What's going on? Any ideas?

As I say, this has all worked well for a long time with no changes.
