What version are you using? I see this the 1.0.x and 1.1.x branches, but
1.2.x and 1.3.x look fine. There will not be another release on the 1.0.x
line unless a security bug is found, and 1.1.x is quickly approaching that
same point since 1.3.0 is around the corner.

No, it's definitely a bug. However, Jani Averbach fixed it on trunk in
r10987. It looks like it never made it to the 1.0.x and 1.1.x branches
though.
I could not find anything wrong near line 296. The only thing I saw was a
line printing an error to stderr, and the newline is correct in that case.
I'd recommend upgrading to 1.2.3 or 1.3.0 (when it becomes available).
Thanks for the report!
