Fred,
I noticed you mentioned in a bug comment about getting some information using Ethereal. If you are also running Cygwin, could you help a bit with bug #3917? I'm stuck because of some firewall issues that I have not yet tracked down on the home machine where I can test.
What I'm trying to do is get a network capture of the problem to see what exactly is failing when there is the protocol error. I have shown that running the test case using spamd on Cygwin and spamc on another box (which could be linux) will demonstrate the problem. Unfortunately, Ethereal (or anything using winpcap) will not capture anything when the client and server are on the same machine, and I can only get my machines to talk through an ssh tunnel which prevents sniffing.
So if you have Cygwin and another box and the time and can reproduce the problem, that would help.
Thanks,
-- sidney
