[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

Some po files are opened with an additional/unnecessary po file
header. The same is observed when moving to text mode (E) and coming
back to po-mode.

I have been observing this with many po files but it was difficult to
reproduce the problem. Now I have foud one po file which consistently
reproduce this bug. It is attached.

Some cases a find and replace outside po-mode and coming back to
po-mode exhibits same behaviour.

1. Observe the file header in a different text editor (gedit, kedit...)
2. Now open  the file in emacs
3. po-mode adds an extra blank header at top

emacs version 23.1.91.1 (compiled from trunk a while back)

In most cases I have to exit from po-mode (E), remove the offending
lines and go back to po-mode.

po-mode is not part of Emacs, so please report this problem to whoever
maintains po-mode, not here.

It's part of gettext (already fixed in there in CVS) and the issue has
been discussed at length in [1].  A patch is available at [2].

Cheers,
