Matthias, I appreciate the tip about FETCHMAILHOME, which seems to imply
that multiple instances can run potentially at the same time.  I will
explore your suggested workaround.  Since I access onion servers, I have
a lot of wiring outside of fetchmail anyway.

Note that I don't personally have a threat model that makes this
capability important to me, but I raised the feature request because it
would be a useful security improvement for many to have.  If the daemon
could handle the scheduling, it would ease things for the user and
improve security for many including those who don't have such an
exciting threat model.
