I'm seeing some inconsistent timings.  I use estd, with
kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254

The problem is that fetchmail is sleeping for different periods.  It
should be (and sometimes is) 5 minutes, but here you see a 9-minute
interval:

fetchmail: sleeping at Tue Jun 13 11:54:33 2006
fetchmail: awakened at Tue Jun 13 12:03:53 2006
