Did you see the above quoted patch chunk? The patch is inconsistent
with _itself_, adding 'pa' and 'va' with different idents (but when they
should be at the same identation level).

Trust me ;)


What Jeff means is that the patch is using a tab for pa and 8 spaces
for va.


Precisely. That's what my entire "whitespace challenged" comment meant.

When the patch adds two lines at the same visual indentation level in the source, but appear different in the patch, that is a signal that some tabs got accidentally converted to spaces somewhere.
