A friend of mine suggested using -Wall to find questionable fetchmail
code that could behave differently under gcc 3.2.  The good news is that
I quickly found such code.  The bad news is that the code is mine! :,(

When my original Winsock recv(..., MSG_PEEK) workaround patch:

    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-04/msg01584.html

was factored to handle both SSL and non-SSL, I forgot the return
statement in the newly created cygwin_read() for the normal code path:

    http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-06/msg00320.html

Actually, I am quite amazed that Cygwin fetchmail built with gcc 2.95.x
has processed 10,000s of messages without any problems over the last 8+
months.

I just uploaded a new fetchmail package to correct this problem.
