Thanks!  I found the problem, and it was what you said.  However,
compiling with -DBSD barfs, and so does -DHPUX.  Soooo, I made a
simple mod that fixed it; I thought I'd pass it on.  One question first,
though: now, when I quit from my mailbox, csh tells me every time that
I have new mail (when I don't).  What's causing this?

Anyway, with thanks to Barton, here are the diffs:
