After upgrading from '4.6.4-1.1' to '5.3.3-1.1' fetchmail now hangs
for over 15 minutes after an error, as the following log shows. I am
not using PPPD 'demand'. The errors are an ongoing problem with no
easy solution, so I've just automated the system to call back whenever
there is an error, but I can't seem to compensate for the new 15
minute hang. Is there any way around this problem?
