Hmm..

   This seems intermittent. It happens, then it doesn't happen. When the pop 
account succeeds, It works like it should:

0040  2d 90 2b 4f 4b 20 70 6c  65 61 73 65 20 73 65 6e   -.+OK pl ease sen
0050  64 20 50 41 53 53 20 63  6f 6d 6d 61 6e 64 0d 0a   d PASS c ommand..

   I'll keep trying to capture the failure and try and figure out exactly 
where it is failing.  Murphy's law - with wireshark running -- the login works :)
