Bug#513695: fetchmail: race in MSG_PEEK



reassign 513695 linux-2.6 2.6.28-1

thanks

The cause of these errors has been traced to the kernel. The errors are 
bogus and due to a test that's no longer correct after a code change in 
2.6.28.

The errors have also been seen with other applications than fetchmail:
kernel: TCP(kio_imap4:5646): Application bug, race in MSG_PEEK
kernel: TCP(wget:4137): Application bug, race in MSG_PEEK

A (tested) patch is available in
   http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg96700.html
which is expected to get included in 2.6.30 and probably the next 2.6.29 
stable update.

Cheers,
FJP
