OK, I've just been wading through fetchmail's NEWS file. Note the
last item of this entry which may be alluding to the problem we are
discussing here.
fetchmail-4.4.7 (Sat May 23 08:26:58 EDT 1998):
* FEATURE FREEZE IS NOW IN EFFECT! No new features until after 4.5.0.
* Better workaround for TOP bounds-checking in qpopper 2.3+.
* Several fixes for option-parsing and elsewhere by Gunther Leber.
* George Colouris's second try at NetBSD autoconfiguration.
* Bruce Mah's fix for core dump in command-line host specification.
* Missing `idfile' declaration added to .fetchmailrc processing.
* Mimedecode default turned off pending a fix for the PGP-signature-
munging bug.
There are no more recent entries regarding mimedecode, so it has
apparently not been fixed since. Is it possible that you (and
Vladimir) are using fetchmail with this mimedecode option switched
on?
