There is a very minor bug in mush that has been there from at least 6.1.
When I do a "mush -C -u news" and there is no mail for news, I get the
message:

/usr/spool/mail/news: No such file or directory<my shell prompt>

meaning, of course, that there is a missing "\n".  This bugs me because I
use ksh and if I then do a ESC k (so that I can change news to uucp), the
line has garbage at the end.

I figured that this would be a trivial fix.  I figured wrong.  After
not finding a string containing the message in the code, I went searching
and decided that even if I found it, it was probably used somewhere else
and adding the \n would screw it up.

Does someone have a patch for this?
