[fetchmail-devel] [PATCH] uninitialized variables in daemon mode

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

Hi,

fetchmail has too many global variables which are not being
initialized properly. This affects the daemon mode as variables which
are modified for a particular mailbox/poll never get reset back to the
original value, thus affecting all the mailboxes/polls from that point
on.

This patch attempts to sort and fix a few of these variables. This
patch also removes unused variables and moves variables which are
unnecessarily static global.

The idea of this problem came from the fix to the original problem
reported in:

<http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/fetchmail-users/2005-September/000059.html>.

I suspect that there could be a few more variables of this kind. If
possible, an audit of all global variables should be done.
