Description Paul Thompson 2006-02-28 22:01:47 UTC

I dont recall what version this replaced, but this appears to be a known
bug as revealed by googling '.netrc fetchmail segfault'. The problem
appears to be fetchmail trying to clear the passwords it read in .netrc
from memory before freeing it.

According to http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/fetchmail-friends/2006-01/msg00053.html
This bug is also present in fetchmail 6.3.2

That link also points to the patch to fix it. My temporary work around is
to rename .netrc, so it doesnt get read.
