agc 95907aaf86 Fix from Robert Elz in PR 18664 to stop sortm coredumping when there's
a numerical subject.

"And yes, this really does add a preprocessor conditional that makes
either one of two original statements get compiled, and the other
omitted (ie:  the patch is correct, though just deleting a line would
work as well).  The "#if 0" could become "#if 1" and the core dump
would also be gone, though the results of the sort would then
sometimes be rather hard to explain..."

Robert Elz's PR 18664 contains the rationale for this patch:
A bug report (from Scott Lipcon) was submitted elsewhere:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=1393&group_id=2166
and then today copied to the nmh-workers list.
Basically, using "sortm -textfield subject" where a message
in the folder contains "Subject:N" where "N" is alphanumeric
will cause sortm to dump core (the "korean spam" aspect of the
mail that caused the original bug report is irrelevant).
>How-To-Repeat:
Use nmh. Put a message in a folder that contains "Subject:1234"
and then run
sortm +whatever-folder -textfield subject
and watch for the core dump.
Or, examine the code and be amazed ...
