+PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
+      flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
+      turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
+      set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
+      be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
+      verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
+      came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
+      while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
+      the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
+      trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.
