Subject: bug#7536: 24.0.50; sexp diary entry on last line is truncated
Date: Fri, 03 Dec 2010 00:10:17 +0100

1. Let there be no file ~/diary.
2. emacs -Q
3. M-x calendar
4. In the Calendar buffer type `C-SPC i b', then in the popped to diary
   buffer type `test' as the entry after the diary-block sexp and then
   `C-x C-s' to save the diary file.
5. M-x diary
=> The fancy diary display shows the above diary entry as `tes'.

AFAICT the reason is that diary-list-sexp-entries assumes there is a
newline after a sexp diary entry.  Here is a fix:
