Why is that?

btw: when the strings fragments are put on the same line,
it's nicer to take out the intermediate joining " " bits too.

I'd've probably used 2 seq_puts calls like:

        seq_puts(m, "  Function                               Hit    Time       
     Avg             s^2\n");
        seq_puts(m, "  --------                               ---    ----       
     ---             ---\n");
