Some spells cannot be used, even with sufficient MP

[bz#143]

I tested this in several cases, and it seems that muted spells are not castable
by heroes in battle. (Enemies too, possibly?) They are greyed out like
insufficient MP spells in the spell menu.

I did not test with Level MP

After testing again, I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with mute. It just
seems like random spells are being locked out. This is happening in both
game.exe's.

Could you attach the game? This sounds like it'll be pretty hard to track down...

I can't get it to happen in a new RPG file, but all of my games seem to have been
affected by this. I'm attaching an old game called 'Who am I' with a save point
in a field with random battles. Several attacks are unusable under Joseph and
Jacob's 'Spell' command. In my other games, it's actually worse than this one,
but this is the smallest file I have on hand.

Also noticed while playing that the Alt buttons do not work in the field.

Re-titling this. (The ALT thing has been fixed, BTW)

Fixed this was caused by something very similar to what caused bug bz⁠#139.
readattackdata was clobbering buffer(), and the code that checks to see if you
are allowed to use a spell was using buffer()

Fixed. This also fixes bug bz⁠#150

Ah ha, it's funny. I fixed that problem in my source so I could begin debugging
it, but got distracted. :P
