Thanks.

Yes. It also returns FALSE if we want \n but find \n\r
and returns TRUE if we found \n\n\r (not actually testing
for the last \r). In the last case we will soon be called
again for the buf+1.

Done in r1030763.

Fixed in 1029335. But modifying the tristate enum
definition as proposed in a recent post would have
fixed this as well.
