fetchmail problem, can't start

[Antonio Rodriguez <arodriguez31@cfl.rr.com>]

I noticed that since last night fetchmail is not working (as
user). The way I have it set up is that the user (me) has the settings
in .fetchmailrc in /home/tony/
Last night we had some power outage, and probably after it is the the
problem started. This is what I get:

tony@hpd:~$ bash -x $(which fetchmail)
/usr/bin/fetchmail: /usr/bin/fetchmail: cannot execute binary file
tony@hpd:~$

and

tony@hpd:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/fetchmail
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       209976 2004-07-04 16:34
/usr/bin/fetchmail
tony@hpd:~$
(line broken by emacs)

Does any one have any ideas?
