If messages aren't currently being skipped due to --More--ESC when a
message flagged as urgent is issued and that urgent message itself
triggers --More-- to have the user acknowledge the previous message,
and the user types ESC at this new --More--, message suppression
starts. With the overly simplistic existing code from a few days
ago, it was too late for the current message to override that. Since
the urgent message gets buffered like any other (until another message
needs the top line or until input is needed), it wouldn't be shown
when the next message came along and discovered suppression in effect.
I'm not sure that all the changes here are necessary; there was some
flailing about involved. But it seems to behave as intended now.
