No, that just happens to be a write of 517 bytes.

Did you suffer a 517 error on this run like you have in the past?
That appeared somewhere other than the st files because they didn't
exist back then.

If not, then you need to get that 517 error occurring again.

If you did have a 517 error this time then the textual protocol between
fetchmail and the server, shown in the "..." strings of read() and
write() calls, will show what was passed by fetchmail to the server
that made it respond with 517.
