Re: jot: producing too much output?

[Robert Elz <kre%munnari.OZ.AU@localhost>]

As an extra bonus, the appended patch causes jot to generate what
you're expecting.   I'm not going to apply it however, without someone
who knows what jot is really intended to do in this situation indicates
that it is a reasonable thing to have happen (in which case it would also
need a man page update).
