23.0.50; movemail change

[jpff]

One one of my machines I fetch mail to RMAIL via pop, and on the others
I use reading from a file.  Since the change to movemail (on 13 Jan I
think) the pop version fails.

movemail: Error getting message count from POP server: Unexpected response from 
POP server in pop_stat
(No new mail has arrived)

There are messages; using fetchmail on a different system I can get
them to the mail box, but that is hard (involving home and work
systems).  I think that a bug was introduced in the po: form of mail
box

Message below if from a machine that is OK problem machine is an
AMD64x2 running Suse 10.3
