[fetchmail]Bug in fetchmail.

Hi everyone.

I've discovered something strange in fetchmail (debian 2.2r4 + 2.2.20):

[20:00](shf(_at_)equinox shf)$ fetchmail a
Segmentation fault
[20:00](shf(_at_)equinox shf)$ gdb `which fetchmail`

fetchmail version is 5.9.3+NTLM+SDPS+SSL+NLS.

I've tested it on slackware 7.1 and 8.0 (both on kernel 2.4.12)
with fetchmail 5.4.0+NLS (7.1) and 5.8.6+SSL+NLS (8.0), and here is the result:
$ fetchmail a
Enter password for shf(_at_)a: ^C
fetchmail: Caught SIGINT... bailing out.
