Patch 2.2.11 oddness?

I observed what I thought was an
odd "one-liner" when I was looking
at the diff's in the patch for
kernel 2.2.11 (as received from
ftp.us.kernel.org.)

There appears to be a short error
message:

"\ No newline at end of file"

that appears at the end of the section
containing the diff's for arlan.c.

I didn't notice anything until *after*
I updated 2.2.10 to 2.2.11, when I was
looking through the diff to see what
changed...

Please see attached snippet below.

My apologies if this is a "multi-post"...
I've been off the list for 2 weeks.

The retrieval from kernel.org and gunzip
went without incident. The patch applied
cleanly. As a consequence, I don't think
the file was corrupted....

So far, 2.2.11 plays very nicely :-)

Regards,

Paul

[ Ohhh, and I don't know what an "arlan"
is, either ;-) ]
