While hacking in Guy Riddle's changes to fix the "truncated articles"
bug, I noticed an error in our news source (and it was in Guy's fix).
The line prefixed with "!" below was commented as "skip white space",
but what it actually does is get rid of blanks and 't's. The fix is
very simple, but I haven't noticed anyone else posting a fix.... 'Diff'
output follows:
