Fetchmail - Socket problems?

[Tobias Bengtsson <tjolle@persilja.net>]

I've just managed to set up procmail, mutt, fetchmail and exim and it seems
to work fine to some extent.
I noticed yesterday that, while fetching mail from the POP server, fetchmail
halts with a socket error as soon as a mail was larger than 10,000 octets.
Now this troubles me, although I don't think that I get that many messages 
larger that 10kb, I feel that I atleast should be able to.

After reading the FAQ, I tried setting MTU and MTR to 552 in my ppp options
file, but that doesn't help.

I'm running fetchmail release 5.3.3+NTLM+SDPS+NLS, installed from a deb
package, if that's any help to anyone..

Thanks in advance.
