Or maybe -questions if it's related to a well-known port.

Anyway, if it's been over a year since you've updated fetchmail then there are 
a whole bunch of entries in ports/UPDATING you should read. The problem 
you're probably running into (along with a possible workaround) is mentioned 
in the 20051210 entry. There are other more recent entries as well.
