>Description:
Given a file containing a very long line as:

$ cat foo
./config ./keys inside/org/113440/reports/index.html outside/org/113440/index.html outside/user/girishc/index.html outside/user/girishc/no outside/user/karaul/index.html outside/user/kvaradhan/index.html outside/user/kvaradhan/doc/index.html outside/user/kvaradhan/doc/dynamics/index.html outside/user/kvaradhan/doc/oscillations/index.html outside/user/kvaradhan/doc/rs_design/index.html outside/user/kvaradhan/doc/thesis/index.html outside/user/murakami/index.html
$ fmt < foo
./config ./keys inside/org/113440/reports/index.html outside/org/113440/index.html outside/user/girishc/index.html outside/user/girishc/no outside/user/karaul/index.html outside/user/kvaradhan/index.html outside/user/kvaradhan/doc/index.html outside/user/kvaradhan/doc/dynamics/index.html outside/user/kvaradhan/doc/oscillations/index.html outside/user/kvaradhan/doc/rs_design/index.html outside/user/kvaradhan/doc/thesis/index.html outside/user/murakami/index.html


Notice that fmt did not fold the lines to within 65-75 columns as is 
documented.

fmt version (by grepping the binary) is:
$FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/fmt/fmt.c,v 1.11.2.1 1999/08/29 15:28:00 peter Exp $
