I have attempted to use fetchmail-5.9.4 on OpenBSD 2.7 & 2.9 on the i386

versions 2.95.2 19991024 and 2.95.3 20010125 respectivly and was built
with make and gmake.
Same here. *Exactly* the same symptoms, *exactly* the same "requirements"
to make it happen. 5.9.2 is the last version that works properly for me,
5.9.3 had the same problem. Seems to be related to the patch that makes
fetchmail use queryname in UID files. Some initial debugging shows that
queryname doesn't get initialized, so that ctl->server.queryname == (null),
which causes a core dump in the strcasecmp statement in uid.c, line 175.
I haven't had time to look into it in detail yet, unfortunately (I haven't
even had time to report it when 5.9.3 came out). :-/
