Brian,

Indent appears to be maintainerless at the moment, but maybe not for 
much longer :-).

I think I've seen this behavior once or twice in other code but haven't 
managed to track down a small test case or possibly the options that 
trigger it.  Can you tell me what your .indent.pro contains or the 
command line options you are using for this invocation?  I've tried a 
couple of things here and can't reproduce it, but I still think I've 
seen it happen before.

If you could trim down your example code a bit and forward it to me 
(offlist) I'd be happy to look into the problem.
