Ok, I don't think vim can do what I had in mind but I've seen the symptoms you described. Emacs is capable of leaving a file that doesn't have a newline character at the end of the last line of the file. config(8) *really* loses it if either the kernel config file itself or any of the support files config(8) uses doesn't have the newline character at the end of the last line. The students here tend to use emacs, and I usually have around five each year that have kernel builds blow up because when they added some new files to include in the kernel build they didn't press the return key at the end of the last line in sys/conf/files. Usually config(8) runs without complaint but the kernel compile fails with issues like what you had. -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
