I was going to get into that later, if he confirmed that gets() was
involved. It's just the simplest way I could think of to make the '\n'
characters he was planning to tokenize on be unintentionally absent.
It's not a particularly plausible way - which is why I didn't want to go
into it in any detail unless and until he confirmed that it was relevant.
