   Yup.  I'm an idiot at times! 

The thing was that I kept copying it into different windows
and I kept getting different behaviors where the count wasn't
consistent.  So, I got overfocussed on reproducing it
otherwise.

   It's still the case that in Misaki's post, there is a space
at the end of the line, but not in the quoted version that Chet
posted...

   Thanks for the head-butt.

   Now if you can tell me what's wrong with my completion
problem, I can go back to sleep... ;^/  *sigh*
