Thaks, a good improvement. The nerd in me also suggests changing this:

      line[line_length] = '\0';

      /* Ignore blank lines.  */
      if (line_length == 0)
        continue;

to this:

      /* Ignore empty lines.  */
      if (line_length == 0)
        continue;

      line[line_length] = '\0';
