Oh, I love it when something like this happens.  Throw a "perhaps
along these lines" patch and then a finished product that fills the
gaps I didn't bother to fill magically appears, even with tests and
updates to comments and documentation.

What good things did I do recently to deserve such a luck? ;-)

This leaks msg (inherited from my "perhaps along these lines"
patch).  I think I can just add free(msg) at the end.

Nice spotting.  The "along these lines" patch broke "stripspace -s"
under custom comment line char; this fixes it.

Thanks.
