>Fix:
I assume it's yet another problem from changing the compiler & thus cpp.
It only fails wth a leading tab, not leading spaces.
One could weasel out by quoting man calendar text
"If the first character in the line is a <tab>
character, it is treated as a continuation of the
previous line"
which preceeds
"Empty lines and lines pro- tected by the C commenting
syntax (/* ... */) are ignored."
But it used to work, & the manual has not changed its wording,
just the binary now functions worse.
I'll keep a note of this send-pr at:
