Usually we try don't add code for fixing bugs in others programs. If you
find such case, then it is more logical you send the patch to the bugsy
application, in this case alpine.

+ char *p;
+ for(p = memchr(s, '\n', n); p != NULL; p = memchr(p, '\n', s + n - p))
+ *p = '\r';
I would prefer something like:
char *p = s, *q = s + n;
while(p = memchr(p, '\n', q - p))
*p = '\r';
