 I believe my minimal change of progress.c 1.24 was sufficient to fix
 the problem of the present PR.  Your suggested changes hint at other
 bugs in progress(1) that also ought to be fixed, but a complete
 replacement of the entire source file is not the appropriate way to
 fix them.  Please file a separate PR for each remaining progress(1)
 bug, with a patch if possible, but more importantly, with a
 description of the problem.
