I think I've already given you that in my first message that
mentioned multi-line input. In the test suite, we already have that
$LF defined so your tests can use it without defining it yourself.

Don't silently butcher end-user input; instead do something like
this to make it clear that you do not support it.
if (strchr(comment_message, '\n'))
die(_("multi-line comment not supported: '%s'"),
comment_message);
