This is a re-send of a message I sent to the list before, that never
arrived.

These all seem to use HEAD before REVERSE, so none of them should
break; or am I missing something obvious? The change just makes the
HEAD call redundant.
I did a very quick-n-dirty rawk against about 6,000 files here,
and I think the break count would be near-nil. Looks like Cal may be
the only victim, in his old rem42 editor script.
