Are you using the CVS version?  I sent in a patch for that a month ago, and 
I'm fairly certain it made it into CVS.  (If it didn't, try to work through 
it in a couple days.  You can check the list archive for the patch...)

This is the last week of classes in the semester, and although as a grad 
student I don't have finals, I do have three papers, a take-home test, and a 
gazillion write-ups due by midnight tuesday.  (After that, I catch up on 
to-do list items like this...)

-pre3 is actually pretty old by this point.  The sed in cvs has been fairly 
extensively redone...
