Mailbox and atime on Linux 1.3.x (hacked!)

I finally decided to brute force the atime problem I've been having with
mailbox on Linux 1.3.57-74, apparently due to a filesystem bug in newer
kernels. My solution was to stat the file immediately before opening it in
deliver and apply that atime to the file after closing it. Seems to work.
If anyone's interested in my ugly patch, just ask.
