FC2 fetchmail blocker issue

I did not look into the issue, but the report indicates that it is 
caused by a non-upstream patch for gsspop.  I understand this can be 
distressing to most upstream projects, but hopefully a solution can be 
found without necessitating backing out this patch.

Eric do you already have a Bugzilla account?  Mind if we add you 
automatically to all new fetchmail bugs reported against Fedora Core? 
You or other upstream developers would keenly see trends in bugs and 
more quickly kill duplicate reports than us.
