pine backspace and alternate editor problem.

[cewatts]

After installing pine, I noticed a problem with backspacing in pico - backspace would jump over multiple line-breaks, ignoring them - and delete the first character that *wasn't* a line break. You couldn't delete line-breaks with backspace, but control-K still works.

The pine-4.44-multibyte.patch appears to be causing the problem. Removing it corrects this behavior.

I also had trouble with the alternate editor - if I switched to an alternate editor, pine crashed when I exited. At this point I removed all of the patches, and both issues are resolved.

Are some of the other patches necessary? I notice they mostly refer to older versions of pine.

For now, I've disabled most of the other patches, and things seem fine.

Note that I *am* using PPC; I'm curious if this also affects other architectures.

(this patch also enables the PASSFILE option ...)
