Actually, It turns out that this was not a bug in fetchmail. 
Investigation of the errors and the link 
http://www.catb.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-FAQ.html#R6 
<http://www.catb.org/%7Eesr/fetchmail/fetchmail-FAQ.html#R6> showed that 
the problem was a path-MTU issue which caused the fetchmail to hang. 
Problem has now been solved.
