By women (Mishnah Berurah: and men) for 90 min between sheqi'ah and
counting does not sound similar to ChM. Maybe more like not eating
dinner before maariv. But that's not it either.

That Tur, the Taz (s"q 16) and same MB (s"q 19) say the reason for
an issur melakhah in the evenings was because that's when talmidei R'
Aqiva were buried.

This is actually more proof of the aveilus theory. No?

:-)BBii!
