Umm ,actually not really. See, die is pretty funky and looks at the end of the message. If there is no newline, it adds the new line along with a whole bunch of other stuff ( like the line number, etc ).

Sometimes, though, that information is not desired. Especially when it may confuse the poor end user. So, if you do add the newline, the only thing that shows up is the message you sent.

Mik - probably going on far longer than anybody really needs
