I agree but still finding such external dependency needlessly fragile.

The part "and a whitespace." was removed as redundant (due to the following
strtok_r) while getting more complicated making it safe.  In the spirit of GNU
Coding Style
	"It is not necessary to duplicate in words the meaning of the
	C argument declarations"
(while used in a different meaning at that point) I removed the remainder of
the comment
	/* skip ")" */
for the block
	  if (p != NULL)
	    p = strchr (p, ')');
	  if (p != NULL)
	    p++;
as obvious; but I put it back now on your request.

OK, removed that comment.

Forgot/unaware, fixed the same way.

Checked-in.


Thanks,
Jan
