   Hello mark!   
      
   22 Feb 13 15:13, you wrote to me:

    That is clean, and not the hidden issue it could bring. Suppose such a node   
    runs an old OS/2 and till now makenl_ng is not available. Dumping a nodelist   
    with incompattible lines will make many system unreachable for that node,   
    as the line will be flagged as errors.   
      
    It is just hypothetical, but still.
