Hi Akim,

Thanks for the patch and the reminder.
It looks like it fell off my radar.

That change is not needed for me.
Could it be required for you because your version of gperf
is older than mine?  I'm using gperf 3.1.

In any case, I've gone ahead and applied your change, since it
is more robust to perform a multi-line search and replace, as
your new rule does.

I've added a reference to this discussion to the log.
