I seems to hang on lage files. I have tried to compile popper, and pop3 from scratch, and got them both to go (look out for the careless use of "inline" as a variable name in pop3). However, both of them won't process password files. This might be from the new MD5 stuff, but I don't know. So, can anyone tell me either what might be wrong with the stock popper, or how I can get the others to use the password file. JO
