Unfortunately, the formatting (indent) issues are confusing:
   1) Some are artifacts of the combination of spaces and tabs.
      These can be ignored.

And here's another issue.  Your "orig" file is only up to date
as of July 9.  There have been several cvs changes since then.

You need to always update and merge your files before submitting a diff.

Have you tried doing your diffs and your email from a linux machine?

I'll send diff comments in a separate email.
