Actually, the point of the patch was to remove the unnecessary \n at the
end of the string, because log_print will add another one. If you prefer
to keep the string broken up, I can resend the patch in that form, but
without the unnecessary \n.

Please combine any user-visible strings into a single line for which the
unneeded newline is dropped since these strings are modified anyway by
your patch.

That is what the submitted patch (2/12 specifically) did.
