Can you attach gdb AFTER the message delimiter message and BEFORE the
timeout and show us the output of "backtrace"?

Try:

     ps aux | grep '[f]etchmail'

to figure the process ID (like 1234), then gdb `which fetchmail`
1234. Replace 1234 by the PID you found. Use ps -ef on SysV boxes
(Solaris etc.)

Thanks.
