[Jeff Bailey]

I don't know if this is the right way to actually fix this...

Package: mailutils
Version: 20011103-1
Severity: important

I would provide the (trivial) patch to fix this problem but the
annoying build system you use killed my attempt to do so; in any event
just change pop3d.c:25 to define timeout as an unsigned int rather
than size_t to fix this problem and allow it to build for ia64 (and
probably other 64 bit platforms).
