Greg had already applied my patch by the you sent this email.

What you're saying sounds like it should be a good cleanup, but when
I actually look at it, the callers still have to test repeat_str[0]
so it's not as useful as one would hope.

Really this stuff is really confusing.  I'm not sure what is
actually stored in press_str.  Is it a pointer or just chars?  If
it's a pointer then why are we only checking the first bit instead
of checking the pointer?  I think it's characters but why is it
declared as "char press_str[sizeof(void *) + sizeof(int)];"?
