Thank you. I have committed these two changes to SVN (on BRANCH_6-3),
to appear in fetchmail 6.3.5.

The full diff as committed is attached for your reference. I have bumped
the version to 0.1+jc2. On further submissions, you can just increment
the figure after "+jc" (jc3 jc4...) to make clear it's not Richard
Harris's version any more.

Thanks for your contribution!

Kind regards,
