It turns out that right after I sent my message to you, I realized that I
compiled a completely different version of mush!  I compiled and am
running mush 7.2.5-beta-5 (as per http://www.well.com/user/barts/mush.html).

I just now noticed that the Debian patches are also available on the web
site, but my copy does not include them.

When I compiled the sources available via
http://www.debian.org/Packages/stable/mail/mush.html , I have the same
biff problem.

Unfortunately, I do not have time to pursue this problem further
presently.  I will start to have free time near the end of April.
(Yikes!)

(BTW, I did have some compilation errors.  Are you using gcc 2.7.2.3 ?
I fixed 'em.  Below are the diffs.)
