I use fetchmail all the time.  In previous versions I occasionally
experienced the same problems that you are reporting.  In every case
that I traced, the problem had something to do with an authentication
failure on the POP/IMAP server end.  When fetchmail encountered this,
it silently died.

However, now I am running fetchmail 5.5.2.  I still occasionally
experience authentication failures, but with this new version of
fetchmail the fetchmail daemon sends me an email that tells me about
the problem.  This is The Right Thing to do in this situation, and I'm
still happily using fetchmail.
