I did some more experimenting, and simply doing a mailbox_open and a
mailbox_close will not expunge in read-only mode.

I have attached a C program which demonstrates the problem.  It opens
the mailbox in read-only mode, scans the mailbox looking at message
attributes, and then closes the mailbox.  The close triggers an expunge.

The expunge does not happen if either the mailbox_close or the message
scanning loop is removed.
