Hey all,
In short, the latest upgrade seems to have borked fetchmail:
fetchmail: Error writing to MDA: Broken pipe
Deleting the /bin symlink and creating a /bin directory containing only a symlink /bin/sh pointing to /usr/bin/bash, makes fetchmail work again.
Running `strace -vf fetchmail` reveals that the execve("/bin/sh"...) call returns EPERM.
This symlink was introduced in late 1987 with SunOS-4.0, there never have been any problems with this construct.
