I have a custom pop-3 interface that opens sockets to the pop server.
It seems to be behaving strangely lately. I do all the standard lookup
host and service by name type stuff...
It is when I'm reading and writing strings, POP command like TOP, RETR,
etc., it used to work perfect, and now it is like fgets on the file I
opened with the socket is no longer synchronized or something.
It's like it returns without getting a value.
When you issue a POP command, you usually either get
+OK something
or
-ERR something
Normally the fgets would sit there and wait until a whole delineated line
comes through... Now it's like it is returning too soon with a junk
string, excuse me, char array.
Sometimes it even works a bit way into my inbox before failing.
Could I have a different kinda bug or might there be some sockets skill
I'm lacking ?
