Anybody know what RFC refers to writting "I will not throw paper airplanes in class" on a chalkboard? There has got to be a spec somewhere. I mean, we want to make sure we don't loose our ISO 9000 Cert...... ACK.

I guess I've been dealing with too much crap for ISO certs lately.

I'm not so sure about that, actually. Traditionally, the 'X times on the
blackboard' spec has not included newlines at the end of the statement -
with sentances that don't take up the entire width, it's a waste of space.
See Bart's example text on the blackboard, from the Simpsons intro:

So I'd say it's less a bug, and more an implementation of the
specification that differs from what your friend is familiar with. It
could perhaps use a space after the ., but again... it all depends on the
preference of the coder (and possibly management).

Well, there's a bug in his code.  He needs a newline character at
the end of the printf statement, or else the statements will all
be on one line (albeit maybe wrapped).  However, in the
strictest interpretation of the assignment, the teacher is
obviously not going to accept the output of the app as
fulfillment of the requirements.

Please see my diff below; perhaps upon proper application, the
teacher will accept his work.  I would submit it to Bugzilla for
this project, but I do not know the proper contact information.
