Thank you very much for the swift reply.

On adding one address to a new address book in pine (i.e. when
.addressbook and .addressbook.lu do not yet exist), I get these errors
after saving the addition with CTRL+X:

  Addressbook has changed unexpectedly, need to resync...
  Resetting address book...

These two occur one then the other, about three times. Then finally
pine says: 

  [Index file .addressbook.lu inconsistent...remove it and restart Pine]

In this case, the inconsistent file is what Pine's just generated.

Yes, my home dir is mounted in textmode:

$ mount
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (textmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (textmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (textmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type system (textmode,noumount)

I regret I don't yet have an opportunity to remount in binary mode. I
hope the above is relevant all the same.

Thank you again and best regards,

Daniel
