Adding an LRM or providing table-ized

(finishing the unfinished thought above): providing a tabular layout (bug #28994) should fix this bug.

Given how many of these types of issues we have - would it make sense to just change Linker::link so it adds an lrm (or rlm) after any link? Or is that over-simplifying things and cause other problems?

Yes, it is over-simplifying.

The hackathon caused me to be more bold about testing such bugs, closing the outdated and the invalid ones, and hacking on the valid ones. The next thing you know, i'll start sending patches.

(In reply to comment #5)

The next thing you know, i'll start sending patches.

I am looking forward to it!

Direction mark added in r90734.

The direction mark is no longer needed when bug 6100 is fixed, but this fixes it for the meantime.
