New description:

 This is a regression from 1.5.18 where mutt would always notice that the
 tunnel had dropped and close the mailbox.

 I'm seeing in 1.5.19 that my tunnel can drop, i.e. pre-authenticated imapd
 running over ssh, and mutt gets into a state where it allows navigation
 through the index, and will allow me to view messages that are contained
 in the message cache.  `<quit>` doesn't work (completely ignored!) and
 neither does `<change-folder>^` (same behavior).

 The way to make mutt notice that the tunnel has dropped is to attempt to
 view a message that's not in the message-cache.  At that point it suddenly
 reports "Mailbox closed" and then I'm able to `<change-folder>^` to re-
 open the connection.

 I'll try to get a debug trace of this.
