Certainly the new behavior is untenable; please revert my patch. I didn't know about the long format and didn't test it. I took a quick look but couldn't come up with a quick fix. I'll try some more when I have time, but it won't be soon; if you or somebody else can find a fix, that would be great. Or maybe this problem is a good argument for hardcoding fixed-pitch for the proced header line. Sorry for the poorly tested patch. Steve Berman
