I reported this error a week ago
(http://lists.ccil.org/pipermail/fetchmail-friends/2002-April/002035.html),
but so far there has been no response.
Have you been able to see if fetchmail detects some error before
dying? You could try non-daemon mode and examine the exit code. In my
case, I get this upon authentication failure.
Thanks for the pointer. I did some Google search in the archive before I
posted myself, but could not find anything relevant.
I added "set syslog" to my .fetchmailrc file, and fetchmail-5.9.11 daemon
no longer dies.
When I invoke fetchmail-5.9.11 daemon with double -v option, it also
works, but the console window is cluttered up with an error message in
effect to "procmail[]: Descriptor 1 was not open" on every poll.
I can't explain why adding "set syslog" fixes the daemon's behavior.
BTW, the release string of the "fetchmail -V "printout still reads 5.9.0.
This can be confusing in my opinion.
