      To answer my own question:  Pine 3.90 does not like to have blank fields 
in the address book.  It saw the blank field and assumed an end-of-file.  When I
tried to modify the address book, it truncated at the entry before the one 
containing the blank field.

       Hopefully this will help someone down the line.

This is a bug in pine acknowledged by the pine development team.  A fix 
should be in the next release according to an answer to this posted 
earlier.

And the next release (3.91) was made available 11 Oct 94.

We strongly urge everyone to upgrade from 3.90 to 3.91 (even though we 
forgot to change the version number in some of the online text :)

There are a number of important fixes in 3.91.
