   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When I'm reviewing these sorts of patches then what I'm trying to verify
is that you are not a UMN "researcher" trying to change the code without
anyone noticing.  In the orignal code, there was no blank line here

but there was a blank line here.

These sorts of minor white space changes make it hard to verify the code
in an automated way.
