If only that feature worked more reliably....

I tried to apply the patch but is was rejected as malformed.  Something in
the mail system wrapped the lines.  I tried to undo the damage but there
were many lines that didn't start with [+-].  I don't have confidence that
I could recreate what you sent me.  

If you think the ML is chopping your patches, just send it to me
privately.  

--jkl

P.S. IIn a silly example of overengineering, I ran this Perl script:

while(<>){ 
        $begin++ if /^Index/;
        next unless $begin;
        
        $plus++ if /^\+/;
        $minus++ if /^\-/;
        $lines++;
} 

$other = $lines - ($plus + $minus);
print "$lines lines, $plus added, $minus deleted, $other wrapped\n";

and got:

116 lines, 29 added, 22 deleted, 65 wrapped
