I have the same problem. This is related to the patch
fetchmail-6.2.0-reply_hack.patch. In my case the message is silently
flushed from the server despite the error. The problem is that linelen
is modified by reply_hack(), but its value is used elsewhere to
decrement a char counter in the mainloop. Does this patch work for you ?

Thanks, I can confirm that the patch fixes the problem, apparently without introducing any ill effects. Maybe an updated package could be released for Fedora Core 1 (as this bug also applies to FC1) ? Any reason why this patch didn't make it even to FC2test1? Patch still applies cleanly atop of 6.2.0-10, and avoids the unfetchable-message problem we've had since 6.2.0-8. Could you please oh please merge the patch in? I've rolled my own RPMS to fix the issue, and I could provide diffs to spec files if you'd like. Created attachment 99088 [details]

Now you don't have any excuse not to close this bug. ;)
In the meantime, for those interested, you can find the RPM at http://nomis80.org/rpms/fetchmail-6.2.0-8.1.i386.rpm. |
