My apologies --- our internal coding standard has tabs set at 4 spaces - and I
haven't figured out how to tell xemacs to use tabs of 8 spaces in some
directories, and 4 spaces in others...  I thought I had fixed any indentation
issues in the patches I was submitting - guess I missed this one.  I'll resubmit
shortly...
