So the code should truncate instead of round.  Thanks for the patch.

Enable Statistics Logging

Re: Enable Statistics Logging

I had the same problem on MacOS X 10.3, it was resolved by using
standalone mode rather than running popper from xinetd.

Best wishes,

You could use a run-time configuration file, and set 'set statistics 
= true'.  See the samples/qpopper.config file.

Also, on OS X, launchd can be used in place of xinetd.  I will try 
and add a sample launchagents file for this.
