It gets complicated. Depending on the font size I use and the wordwrap setting in my mailer, the line may or may not split at that point. So I dug out his original mail to the list, viewed the source - it was unwrapped plaintext - and copy-pasted the line into somewhere I could view it with a hex editor. And it was a newline (0x10) So some translation must have happened somewhere. Perhaps the original character was a non-breaking space or a para break and my X buffer decided to render it as a newline before pasting. Odd indeed. The OP should simply edit his make.conf, remove whatever seperator he has there and make it a real space. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
