Does POP3 fail in Thunderbird 24.4?

Today TB auto-upgraded to 24.4 and I noticed that my mail accounts that use POP3 all stopped working. NSPR logs show the same kind of failure for accounts on different ISPs. IMAP accounts continue to work okay.

The only somewhat unusual extension I have is enigmail 1.6, but running with extension disabled yields exactly the same behavior.

I tried reinstalling TB 24.4 from a new download but see no change. I'm running TB on an up-to-date Win7 64-bit system.

Anyone have any suggestions for what to try next?

not very useful really, if you restart windows in safe mode with networking, do the mails flow?

If it's of use to someone, here is the NSPR log produced by doing one attempt to get mail from a POP-based mail account:
