Hang on - this means that fetchmail was utterly confused because it
couldn't open the literal ~ directory? And handle --version improperly?
Looks a bit odd -- and --nodetach is supposed to override --logfile
<scratches head>

I think I'll play with this a bit more before 6.3.5 and see if there's
something to make fetchmail better behaved.

I've put this onto my TODO.txt.

Thanks for sharing the details!
