 - cut.c:
   do_cut_text()
 	- Fixed getting locked into cutbuffer on cutting first line of file.
+	- Added check_statblank().
+	- Check for fileptr == filebot, if so return, we shouldn't bother
+	  cutting the magic line.
+  do_uncut_text()
+	- Added check_statblank().
 - nano.c:
   main()
 	- Changed tabsize long arg to actually accept an argument *sigh*.
