I've found what may be a bug (ore more likely a change in the logging output).

As I have a number of mail servers to poll each has it's own fetchids
file in /etc, owned by the relevant user.  Before 6.3 this *appeared*
to work ok (the file was added to anyway).  Under 6.3.0 I get the
following for each file, at startup:

Error deleting /etc/fetchids-one: Permission denied

I've solve the problem by giving each user it's own directory for
fetchmail config files under /etc (and the result is a little
cleaner).  Never spotted the problem before 'cos I'd only run
fetchmail 6.3 against the primary config, owned by root :)
