Hello,
I am using fetchmail on the following system

Mandrake 9.1
Fetchmail 6.2.1

I have a intermittent problem where fetchmail seems to hang.  I am running
fetchmail in daemon mode to check mail every 15min.  I then use cron to wake
fetchmail every 2 minutes during work hours.  The following is from the log
file when fetchmail hung.  It looks like the connection timed out after mail
download started from the mail server (I think this is from a network outage
that is common on my internet connection.)  So when the connection goes down
during a mail download, fetchmail seems to hang.  I have to kill the daemon,
and then it works with the next try.
