You can probably substitute all of the -L for an -m.

The difference between -m and -L is that -L does not count the 
end-of-line character(s) (line feed, and possibly carriage-return).  In 
practice this should not be noticeable (especially for english -speaking 
users) since it will be consistent throughout all items on the list.

I seem to recall changing it to -L at a time when doing work for 
internationalization.  I'm not sure if -m handles wide characters or 
not.  I'm certain that -L does.  However, in your case this will not be 
an issue.

Note, however, that common-functions will get overwritten on 
reinstallations and upgrades.  So you'll want to make note of your 
changes and apply them after future upgrades.  If you open up a bug 
report on the Sourceforge website on this matter then I'll make 
configure test for wc -L support before using it over wc -m.  In that 
bug report I would appreciate knowing how things look (i.e. faxrcvd 
notification messages) after making the changes.

Thanks,

Lee.
