^^^^^^^
The extra blanks are from the <pre> section above, e.g.,

      if (d)
        {
          foo (&amp;b, &amp;c);
          a = b + c;
        }
      printf ("%d\n", a);
    }
        </pre>

        The <code>a = b + c</code> can be sunk to right before the
        <code>printf</code>.  Normal code sinking will not do this, it will
        sink the first one above into the else-branch of the conditional

Though a quick check adding a <br> or <p> after the </pre> doesn't help.
Removing the blanks does.  This isn't a new problem.  Comparing with IE,
I see that it puts out the blanks, but puts a carriage return after them.
Opera is doing the same thing.
