I don't know for sure. 


On a hunch downgraded fetchmail. Problem solved. What led me to it was
the identical behaviour of fetchmail under debian and slackware. So, I
suspected it to be a version problem and reinstalled fetchmail 5.5.6
(earlier it was 5.9.3). As the session below shows, it is working again.

So, is this a bug? If the gurus feel so, should I file a bug report? How
do I go about it?
