This problem has already been reported in [mew-dist 25404] on
2004-10-06.  In [mew-dist 25442], the report mentioned that a
wrapper script prevents the problem on Fedora Core 2 system.

  #!/bin/sh
  /usr/sbin/stunnel "$@"

I have tested POP over SSL with Mew, as follows:

  Linux 2.4.27 (Debian kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386 2.4.27-8)
    OK
  Linux 2.6.8 (Debian kernel-image-2.6.8-2-386 2.6.8-13)
    NG (wrapper script prevents the problem)
  Linux 2.6.10 (Debian kernel-image-2.6.10-1-386 2.6.10-4)
    OK

The bug seems to be in Linux 2.6.8, and fixed in Linux 2.6.10.

BTW, if you require server's certificate and verification, please
set mew-ssl-verify-level to 2.
