OK, my little patch is attached. If you're wondering why some of the lines
look the *same* except for definition spacing, it is because I changed some
spaces to tabs thinking maybe that was the problem -- it wasn't. If you use
this and patch the original file -- the subject of this message -- and get
a build without errors, this should be the case since adding new string
definitions should NOT change anything, I will need to run out into the
street screaming! (What is WRONG with my setup?)
