IIRC (and it's been a while), mh mucks about with the internals of a
FILE, and the last time I looked at nmh, it did the same. It was
noticeable for me when using "scan" (on an unrelated hardware platform),
which is the only reason I mention it.
Whilst that's no excuse for it working without optimisation, and not
working with optimisation, it may be an area to investigate.
