I know that. But fetching with fetchmail stopped working when I did that
(when the new port came I did a portupgrade, forgot to kill & restart
fetchmail, when I did so a day or so later it just dumped core), and
I'm trying to pin down exactly what is going wrong. As part of that I
want to try to go back to the old fetchmail and try it *fully knowing
that it has vulnerabilities*.  Which appears to be either obscure,
difficult or impossible.
