fetchmail problems

I'm having an e-mail problem.

I have DSL, and Col 3.1.1. I've been running successfully for a long time, and
now things are beginning to fail.

Early this week I lost phone service for a few days, and during that time,
I had to reboot my system because it got hung (for unknown reasons).

I had used the Caldera updater to get a new version of fetchmail back in
January - but I don't think I restarted it until the reboot.

Yesterday I could download e-mail from my ISP, today I can't. The fetchmail
log looks like this :

$ fetchmail -v -v  -f .fetchmailmylinux

fetchmail: Deleting fetchids file.
fetchmail: normal termination, status 3

What is this SSL thing, and why am I suddenly getting this? I'm completely
mystified, don't even know where to look.
