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. ]
