Here is another example from the logs.

/var/log/mail/errors

Jun 25 11:03:03 fetchmail[14000]: socket error while fetching from
mail.my.domain
....snip.....
You can see that this process hung, and nothing happened until I killed the
process. Then it started working again. Again, I am sure this was caused
by my connection having a outage.
Is this a bug in fetchmail that it hangs when the network connection dropes
out from under it??
