The remote poppassd daemon abruptly closes the connection

It might be vulnerable to an exploitable buffer overflow; 
so a cracker might run arbitrary code on this machine.

*** Note that Nessus did not crash the service, so this
*** might be a false positive.
*** However, if the poppassd service is run through inetd
*** it is impossible to reliably test this kind of flaw.
