I'm in the middle of reinstalling all my ports/packages, after an
upgrade to today's current and I just happened to notice a minor bug
that breaks the POP3 protocol in version 6.2.5 of fetchmail.
The error message that pointed me to the direction of the bug is marked
below with an arrow:
giorgos@gothmog[17:05]/home/giorgos$ fetchmail -v -v -v -a -K | more

Apparently, a check in pop3.c uses reverse logic. Fixing fetchmail here
required changing the following (in a patch-zz-local that I added to the
port's files/ subdir):
%%

+ if (first == last)
{
report(stderr, "cannot get a range of message sizes (%d-%d).\n", first, last);
return(PS_PROTOCOL);
%%
Has anyone else seen/fixed this problem with version 6.2.5 or am I just
doing silly, ignorant things here?
