I was out of pocket for 2 weeks, doing the Grand Old Man scene at 
a sister station, and when I got back I grabbed 2.4.3b3-20020422 
and built it without doing my usual edit job on reporter.c to 
make its output readable as it seemed reporter.c had been heavily 
re-written, according to the ChangeLog, by John R. Jackson about 
2002-04-07, after I had caught a plane to Grand Junction.

The new reporter.c formatting is MUCH better, but it still has a 
wibble at the 3rd column from the right end of a line when doing 
the 'host directory' etc lines in the mailed report.

It appears that this 3rd from the end column is miss-calculated 
for its size by 1 char short, pulling the 2nd from the end in by 
1 char if the 3rd column contains a short value, and has a 
permanent 2 char spacing between the 3rd and 2nd from the end 
columns.  So in the report, this 3rd column back is subjected to 
a variable width, and the last 2 columns then are staggered back 
and forth.

This is a minor quibble really as this format is much easier to 
read, its more of a heads up to John. I walked around in it a 
bit, but didn't quite get my head into the newer code.  I'd need 
more sleep before I tackled that, or a younger brain, this ones 
getting tired. :)
