[fetchmail-users] Re: segmentation fault using 6.3.0

[Sunil S. <sh...@bo...>]

Quoting from Adamsonh's mail on Sun, Dec 11, 2005:
> Hi, I portupgraded my fetchmail to 6.3.0 days ago and found it produced a segmentatioin fault when fetching mails from my ISP.  I have to switch back to 6.2.5 because the old version works fine with my pop3 account.

Please send the output (after removing password information) of:

$ fetchmail -V [your fetchmail options here]

Are you using fetchmail in multidrop mode? If so, can you run
fetchmail in single drop mode (with keep option, so that mails can be
distributed later) and report if the segmentation fault still occurs?

To get a better gdb output, rerun configure this way:

$ export CFLAGS="-g -ggdb"
$ ./configure [your configure options here]
$ make
# and as root
$ make install         # not install-strip
