>Description:
After the recent -i fixes, sed no longer works in all instances.  Many ports
no longer make configure correctly (they hang indefinitely).  The problem
is that sp->len is being unnecessarily overwritten in mf_fgets().  The 
attached patch fixes the problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
# cd /usr/ports/net/gaim
# make configure
