I've taken a source diff. What authentication mode are you using? Is it GSS
or
Kerberos by any chance? My NEWS fuile says
fetchmail-5.8.1 (Tue Apr 10 09:32:04 EDT 2001), 20511 lines:
* Nalin Dahyabai's password parse and authentication fixes.
* Vitezslav Samel's patch to Makefile.in to make parallel makes work.
It looks like Nalin's change bit you. Nalin, do you have any thoughts?

"You have taught us much. Come with us and join the movement."
"This movement of yours, does it have slogans?" inquired the Chink.
"Right on!" they cried. And they quoted him some.
"Your movement, does it have a flag?" asked the Chink.
"You bet!" and they described their emblem.
"And does your movement have leaders?"
"Great leaders."
"Then shove it up your butts," said the Chink. "I have taught you nothing."
