If we hit the LF at the very end (e.g. "fixup A\n" at the end of the
file), strchr() would have moved p to the newline, and p[1] will be
'\0', no?  And because p[1] != '\n' and wouldn't current_fixup_count
be incremented again?  It might be safer to check p[1] != '\n' &&
p[1] != '\0' to avoid counting a trailing newline as an extra
command when reading legacy files.

So we removed all the non newline from the end, and the loop would
break if !len or p[len - 1] == '\n'.  And in the latter case, we
also drop that '\n'.  Which sounds right.

Thanks.
