This manifests itself when exiting from elm and you are prompted for
the things to do with deleted messages and saving to mailbox.
The replies are not intepreted correctly due to a bug in want_to()
which can be found in input_utils.c
The new version of input_utils.c includes <ctype.h> which defines
tolower as macro - this results in the wrong character being returned
by want_to.

Fix is trivial - add an #undef tolower
This is already done throughout the rest of the code!
e.g.

/**			input_utils.c			**/

/** Mindless I/O routines for ELM

**/

#include "headers.h"
#include <errno.h>
#include <ctype.h>

#undef tolower

extern int errno;		/* system error number */
