>Description:
	The qpage port will run words together in long pages. The problem
	is in msgcpy in util.c, where the breaks don't preserve word
	boundries.
>How-To-Repeat:
	qpage -p USER -f USER "this is a test of a message where two words will have the white space between them removed"
	results in this page being delivered:
	USER: this is a test of a message where two words will have the whitespace between them removed
	(Notice that "white space" became "whitespace", and no I didn't plan my test
	case that carefully. :))

>Fix:

	Add this patch file to the port. I've also submitted it to the
	author of qpage.
