Have you grabbed the updates from ftp.suse.com? That might help. I have found that both fetchmailconf and fetchmail are buggier than they used to be. I've had problems with fetchmailconf recently, so I don't use it any more, I just edit .fetchmailrc by hand. But fetchmail itself has some new problems. It used to be that when I left fetchmail in daemon mode and disconnected from the internet for long periods of time, it would happily quiesce until a new connection was made, when it would go about its business. Now it gums up and has to be killed and restarted. At the same time, I see no new features in it to compensate for this behaviour.
Well I am running it as a dameon following the Readme file and using inserv it works fine and very happyly waiting for the net to come up or fetch mail -- Togan Muftuoglu
