Of course that's up to you to decide. That's why I wrote that it's  
probably better you fix this instead of me because you do know the  
code much better. I have/had not the slightest idea what checkalias.c  
is for, I just parsed the complete fetchmail code for occurrences of  
freeaddrinfo() and looked if in the end they would be called from  
within do_session() in driver.c and were thus subject to a possible  
timeout interference.

Which of these occurrences are important, I leave completely up to  
you to decide.
