Description:
Little patch on typo problem.

I'm confused -- your patch appears to simply remove a blank line.

The blank line it removes is not a typo, it was put there intentionally.

Oh, I see it actually removes a blank line which contains a form-feed character. Same difference though: it isn't a typo.

It is not only one blank line.

Er, I guess I'm not making my point well. It's not the description that's the problem, it's the patch. I put the ^L there on purpose, I don't want it to be removed unless there's a good reason, and your mail didn't give a good reason.

If there _is_ a good reason (e.g., "Linus declares he hates ^L and wants them all removed"), then please send it with the patch; otherwise, please drop this patch.

Thanks,

-Miles

Ok, sorry to have wasted your time. Patch dropped.

Have fun,
