Right. Apparently stripped binaries aren't any good for straces.

Does it time out eventually, i.e. after 10 minutes? If not that in itself 
could be considered a bug.

The question is how pop3d knows that the connection is dropped. And maybe 
that's really where dial-up comes into play. In don't know if you're in a 
position to test that, but what happens if you telnet to port 995 from 
dial-up and then drop the dial-up connection? I guess I might try that from 
home now.
