[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#688015: memory leak

[Dominik]

Hi Matthias,

I can confirm the issue reported by Erik.

My .fetchmailrc contains 8 blocks like this:

 > server pop.example.com
 > proto pop3
 > user username
 > pass pw
 > mda /usr/bin/procmail
 > options ssl fetchall no keep

So I'm fetching the remote E-Mails via POP3 SSL on my server.

Die fetchmail process is running 24/7.
After around 1 month the fetchmail process is at nearly 200MB memory usage.
After around 2-3 month ~400MB.

When starting the fetchmail process there are ~6 MB memory allocated.

So the only thing I can say at the moment is that fetchmail is consuming 
more memory the longer it runs, without a normal reason for this.
I have also tested version 6.3.22-1 => it shows the same behavior.

cheers
