Anybody using qpop 2.1.4-r3 on FreeBSD 2.1, and getting instant "POP timeouts"? I've looked at the code in question under the deamon, and in some cases, alarm() seems to be tripping instantly, or within a couple seconds, when in actuality, it should've waited something like 120 seconds or so. Unfortunately, I have not been able to reproduce it at will, although it is happening with some frequency. 100 or so occurences out of 10k POP requests so far today. I am not using the port, but compiled with "44bsd" settings. Although from looking at the patch, it doesn't look like these are areas that are tweaked... The problem is also not traceable to a specific user, in that they can check mail 1x and get the error, and the next time it will work fine.
