 If you must fix what aint broke, please try not to damage it. I'm sorry 
 if your VT52 is limited to 80 cols, but IMNSHO this sort of effort is 
 misguided.
 
 Maybe I could point out again (I do this periodically) that checkpatch.pl 
 is great but code that fails it is NOT always wrong.
 
 Check patch is a good idea but check existing code is a waste of 
 everyone's time.

Amen !

Cheers,
Ben.
