[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#413573: fetchmail: dies with signal 13 on linefeed error

[Paul]

Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.2.5-12sarge5
Severity: important


Using Fetchmail to connect to a POP server, without the 'forcecr' option set, occasionally causes the daemon to terminate with signal 13:

Mar  5 02:46:02 server fetchmail[2301]: awakened at Mon Mar  5 02:46:02 2007
Mar  5 02:46:05 server fetchmail[2301]: Authorization OK on username at mail.earthlink.net
Mar  5 02:46:06 server fetchmail[2301]: SMTP error: 451 See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html.
Mar  5 02:46:24 server fetchmail[2301]: terminated with signal 13

Setting 'forcecr' prevents the error, but the fetchmail daemon should not die when it receives an error regardless.
