The latter, and the distro is Fedora 4. I have two such systems, and
output
of "mutt -v" is the almost the same on both:

except that the other system has

(I hope the above is readable? this interface seems not to preserve line
breaks on copied-and-pasted text.)
Your theory about the Fedora developers patching the code does seem
plausible.
It's probably worthwhile for me to try your patch on the systems where I
have later versions of mutt installed. Easiest option for me would be to
install into a non-root user's home directory, however, and I seem to
remember (from trying that last fall) that some supporting program
(something to do with locking maybe?) only works if installed in a system
directory. If that's not a known problem I can try to provide details.
