Yes, that is exactly why I said that it may be necessary for the
code to analize the lines in a block identified as "likely to be a
trailing block" more carefully.  We can afford to be loose as long
as the only allowed operation is to append one at the end, but once
we start removing/replacing an existing entry, etc., the definition
of what an entry is becomes very much relevant.
