   I can not say for sure but I do know I seem to get gmail   
   failures every two or three days from my 24/7 hourly fetchmail cron   
   jobs. All of them are log in failures. I noticed fetchmail goes   
   into a tight loop upon login failure. Had to add a spawn kill fetchmail   
   if still running after a minute.   
      
   My guess was that gmail suspends your login if too many attempts   
   from your ip.  I have seven separate accounts running fetchmail on   
   the hour and assumed I cross a threshold every once in awhile.
