bug#43897: 28.0.50; End of file during parsing ~/.pop3-uidl

[Mats Lidell]

Trying to use gnus with pop3 but getting "end of file during parsing 
~/.pop3-uidl" when fetching mail. The file that is created when fetching mails 
look strange:

(("fencepost.gnu.org"
  ("matsl"
   "Mm6!!WRW!!3k~"!*&@!!" (24448 57982)
   "bL^"!i1n!!W#N"!Q$I!!" (24448 57982)
   "Dc7!!~J-!!X1T!!A%$#!" (24448 57982)
   "\L9!!GWa"!n+p"!Q1^"!" (24448 57982))))

Any ideas what could be causing this?
