Hi Jackie,

I don't see that your new version sent at 8:01 is any better
but I could be wrong...

Robert,
Please take a look and help Jackie with formatting
and perhaps small single purpose commits as needed -
i.e. separate the whitespace changes from the functional changes.

This problem is happening frequently so I'd like to get this
worked out upstream.

Thanks,
// Randy
