and I've later fixed the ChangeLog.  is there a way to retroactively
fix CVS logs?  I don't think there should be, actually.  one of the
reasons why ChangeLog is the definitive source for such info...

[ oh, and cut -c1-1023 works on HP, which (for me) means it's portable 
  all right, unless someone says it doesn't work on something horrible 
  like Ultrix or DG-UX.  so I'll commit the change shortly. ]
