Compiled 7.2.4 and immediately came up with a problem.  realname was
being set to the name of my mail spool file.

The problem seems to be that mush reuses a variable (buf) that is
storing the realname before it actually sets it.  I moved the new code
about the MAIL variable down below where mush sets realname and
everything checks out.  This only happens if you don't have MAIL set.

Also, for the last several version of mush at least, pick -ago seems
to glitch out, e.g., doing a pick -ago -1w says

Searching for messages that contain "w l
					".

followed by the appropriate messages.
