I found the problem. It is somewhat embarassing. I had copied the
binary from its compiling directory under /opt to  /usr/local/bin/mutt1520.

Obviously that was a stupid idea, since it caused strange unforeseeable
behaviour. I have only a vage idea why copying binaries is not good, but I
guess I have to read up on system administration to really know why...

sorry for the noise.
