fetchmail+exim broke for no reason?

[Brian Servis <servis@purdue.edu>]

Hi all,

Yesterday my fetchmail+exim setup to retrieve mail from my pop3 server
was workign
without a hitch.  Today I dialup and now fetchmail will not download my
mail.  I 
have not changed a thing!  Below is the transaction between the two
machines. Can
anybody shed any light on what is going on?  I can use netscape to
retrieve the 
mail without any complaints.  But I don't use netscape for mail(except
for now when
my normal setup is broken, =) ).

Info:
pop3 server:  postoffice.purdue.edu
my machine: brian.servis.net(local name, not a real dns/ip name)

fetchmail: POP3> RETR 1
