Subject: Pine hangs & creates .addressbook.lu

We just upgraded to SunOS 5.4 and Pine 3.91 insists on creating a phony 
addressbook called .addressbook.lu

Config defaults to .addressbook.

Also, Pine won't save to folders or send FCC to sent-mail.   
addressbook.lu has 686 lines and looks something like this:

P#*E@ 03   300
65535 65535    52233009    71312660          0
65535 65535    52491847    96653795         48
[snip]
65535
65535
65535
65535
65535
65535
P#*E@    82
 11 49 49 48 48
 817377422  0
 
Any help is appreciated.

> addressbook called .addressbook.lu

  .addressbook.lu is not a "phony addressbook."  It is deliberately 
created by Pine to make use of a large addressbook more efficient by 
means of a lookup table.  If Pine creates it, keep it.
