Matt, this is not so much a bug as policy. I agree that a blank line
at the end of the file should probably be truncated. It occurs because
the line ends with a \n meaning that there is strictly another empty
line before EOF.
I changed the policy in svn so this no longer happens. I think this is
probably most intuitive for people - so fair enough.
