Fetchmail/procmail problem after upgrading

Hi,

Today I upgraded cygwin and all the packages and suddenly
fetchmail/procmail is no longer working.  I get the following error
(edited to protect the server name):


$ fetchmail
28 messages for mccap at example.lucent.com.
reading message mccap@example.lucent.com:1 of 28 (2466 header octets)  (2063 body octets) fetchmail: SIGPIPE thrown from an MDA or a stream socket error
fetchmail: socket error while delivering to SMTP host example.lucent.com
fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)


Unfortunately I do not know what version(s) of everything got
replaced; the system was probably 6 months old or so.

Here is my .fetchmailrc (edited to protect the servername and password):

poll example.lucent.com proto imap
     user "mccap" pass "xxxxxxxx"
     mda "/usr/bin/procmail -Y -f %F /home/mccap/.procmailrc"

I believe that my server supports SSL and that fetchmail tries to use it.

What should I try?  I don't know how to revert the system back to its
old state.  I tried the previous versions of fetchmail & procmail
available under the cygwin setup program and they failed in the same way.

-Pete
