It seems there's a bug here with quoting.
According to "turss -a -f -p $muttpid", this causes mutt
to run something like:
execve("/bin/sh", 0xFFBFDAF8, 0xFFBFEF3C) argc = 3
argv: sh -c
/mit/sipb/src/mutt/mutt_ldap_query/mutt_ldap_query.pl ''Chihjiun Connie Yeh <yehc@MIT.EDU>''
And, of course, this means that the shell interprets the < and >, and generally
errors out complaining about the lack of a file of the user's name (i.e.
I have no yehc@MIT.EDU file in the cwd where mutt is running).
Changing the string to remove the quotes, i.e.:
set query_command = "athrun sipb mutt_ldap_query.pl %s"
Causes it to DTRT:
execve("/bin/sh", 0xFFBFDAF8, 0xFFBFEF3C) argc = 3
argv: sh -c
/mit/sipb/src/mutt/mutt_ldap_query/mutt_ldap_query.pl 'Chihjiun Connie Yeh <yehc@MIT.EDU>'
mutt_ldap_query.pl doesn't know how to handle addresses of this form,
but I'm about to fix that.
Could you please remove the single quotes around the %s in the Muttrc?
I suppose this is a bug that should be passed upstream. I assume
you'd rather I do that?
Thanks.

p.s.: I only tested under Solaris, but I assume it's the same...
