BTW: I highly suggest using the pkgized version. It has a shared library
that shares code between pico and pine. (And allow-changing-from is now a
runtime settable option. :)

Gets off_t perfectly right for me on sparc and arm32 - and off_t is twice
the size of int on those platforms.

The `U' stuff was a known problem in strange circumstances in Pine 4.00 (and
in every circumstance in Pine 4.01) that was supposedly fixed, and was from
what I could make of the code diffs. I haven't seen it since 4.02 came out.
