+	* src/files.c (open_buffer): Verify that a named and existing file
+	is a normal file, to avoid opening an empty buffer when the name of
+	a directory is specified.  This fixes Savannah bug #45383 reported
+	by Mike Frysinger, and also Savannah bug #27839 (which is an echo
+	from Debian bug #551717 reported by Paul Wise).

 	* src/browser.c (browser_refresh): Use the proper type (off_t) for
 	the size of a file, and avoid warnings about too large bit shifts.
