Hmm, I see...  The recommendation in SEC45, when a workaround
is required, is to modify the application's source code.
Perhaps this would need to be done for a Cygwin build of
Fetchmail so that it wouldn't make this unmeetable demand?

the last six months of postings and fgrep'd; figured I'd need
to consult them anyway...:-)

Thank you!
