If you can reproduce it, try enabling debug tracing. You may want
to add '#define TRACE_MSG_BODY 1' (without the quotes) as the first
line of config.h after running ./configure but before make.

Usually it just means that the client shut down the connection, or
the connection was dropped.

It looks like the connection is gone. The real problem is earlier.

error 2 is "no file" (ENOENT). It might be just left-over junk in
errno, since Qpopper didn't receive a SIGPIPE. It's in the debug
trace because there were some platforms that seemed to not send a
signal when the client disconnected.
