Hello Drew,


As far as I can see, the only difference between my and your change is
"burn" vs. "burning" (ignoring trailing white space).  I don't see what
your version is consistent to that mine isn't, but I think that yours
is the grammatically correct way.  I'm not a native speaker though.
Anyway, here's the updated patch.

Thanks,
Ralf
