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.
