[fetchmail]Again: Patch for not-in-dns bug (debian bug #99197)

Hi,

on june 19th I wrote a message to this list with a patch for a bug where
fetchmail quits directly after startup if one of the servers to poll is
not in dns ("couldn't find canonical DNS name of xxx").

Henrique later wrote that this is tracked as debian bug #99197.

But the patch in his follow-up mail on the list doesn't fix this bug but
others (general cleanup and anti-format-string patch).

And the newest 5.8.10 release doesn't contain my bugfix either.

Eric, would you please review my patch and include it in the next release.

Thank you.

Regards,

Gerd
