Greetings,

I have uploaded a new fetchmail beta 6.3.5-beta2 snapshot to the usual
download location: <http://mandree.home.pages.de/fetchmail/>

Please test:

1. behavior after logged timeouts and report inconsistencies along with
   your operating system and version.

2. IMAP AUTH=EXTERNAL

Thank you.

Changes in fetchmail 6.3.5-beta2 since 6.3.5-beta1:

* Track getaddrinfo() results to properly free them after timeouts and make sure
  that getaddrinfo() isn't interrupted by a timeout (which breaks on MacOS X),
  reported by Uli Zappe.  This should fix Debian Bug#294547 and Bug#377135.
* fix compilation on systems that don't know struct addrinfo (Solaris 2.6).
* ignore SIGPIPE signals and rely on functions to return EPIPE instead. This is
  necessary because the former longjmp() from the signal handler is unsafe and
  makes the whole fetchmail behavior undefined after the event.
* switch setjmp/longjmp to sigsetjmp/siglongjmp
* IMAP now supports the EXTERNAL authentication method, courtesy of
  Götz 'nimrill' Babin-Ebell, BerliOS patch #1095 with minor changes.
* The sslproto keywords are now case insensitive, courtesy of
  Götz 'nimrill' Babin-Ebell, BerliOS patch #1095.

Happy fetching,
Matthias Andree
