Unfortunately, the crash is not reproducible anymore today, sorry.

Now it's:

which is fine. Just make it better visible by putting the error notice 
on a new line.

Actually, running remotely (rsh ... fetchmail), the output turns into:
> fetchmail: MDA returned nonzero status 255

> reading message deblnss01a/demsn702@blnss35a:1 of 1 (3257 header octets) ... (2542 body octets) .. not flushed
which indicates that stdout and stderr gets merged in an unsynchronised 
way. Probably a flush at some point (flush stdout before any error output) 
would fix this.

Thanks and best regards,
