This is the case.
When qpopper receives 1-char-per-packet it access a non initialized memory 
array and may have no normal behavior because it uses the random bytes of the 
array in a conditional stament.

This is not a very important bug because the email clients doesn't send 
1-char-per-packet when stablish a POP connection and there is no buffer 
overflow problems associated with this, but its a bug and must be corrected.

If this "non important" bug is not corrected, it may be converted in an 
important bug in future versions of Qpopper.
