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 believe I've fixed this in 5.9.5 by making sure that the queryname field
gets initialized even when the server is not active.

[President Clinton] boasts about 186,000 people denied firearms under
the Brady Law rules. The Brady Law has been in force for three years. In
that time, they have prosecuted seven people and put three of them in
prison. You know, the President has entertained more felons than that at
fundraising coffees in the White House, for Pete's sake."
