An indent-1.9.1 user has reported the following bug.  A look at the
code in args.c and indent.c suggests that the "-bbb" option is
only partially implemented, though it is described as functional
in the documentation.

I'd appreciate it if you would copy your responses to all recipients
of this email, and preserve the Subject: line so that our bug tracking
system will handle it properly.

The info documentation for indent 
("Edition 1.3, January 1994, of `The `indent' Manual', for Indent Version 1.9")
states in the option summary:
        `-bbb' 
        `--blank-lines-after-block-comments'
            Force blank lines after block comments

Both the short and the long version do not work.
"indent -st -bbb file.c" results in 'indent: unknown option "-bbb"';
"indent -st --blank-lines-after-block-comments file.c" results in
'indent: unknown option "-blank-lines-after-block-comments"'
(yes, one starting "-").

Ray
