* Fixed various bugs in --check. It now reports PS_SUCCESS only if
there is new mail waiting.
+* Under Linux, if fetchmail is run in daemon mode with the network
+ inaccessible, each poll leaves a socket allocated but in CLOSE state
+ (this is visible in netstat(1)'s output). These sockets aren't
+ garbage-collected until fetchmail exits. When whatever kernel table
+ is involved fills up, fetchmail can no longer run even if the network is up.
+ To avoid this, fetchmail now commits seppuku after some number of
+ unsuccessful socket opens.
