+=item B<Do not start a batch with a blank token>
+
+Perltidy does final formatting in discrete batches of tokens, where a batch is
+a continuous section of the total token list.  A batch begins a new line and
+will be broken into one or more lines.  If a batch starts with a blank token it
+will simply be skipped on on output. However, some rare problems have been
+found in random testing which can occur if a batch starts with a blank.  An 
+example is case b984 which has the following parameters:
+
+        # this is file 'b984.pro'
+        --block-brace-vertical-tightness=2
+        --indent-columns=10
+        --maximum-line-length=27
+        --outdent-keywords
+        --variable-maximum-line-length
+
+          # OLD: perltidy -pro=b984.pro
+          unless (
+                    exists $self->{
+                              'accession_number'} )
+          {         return "unknown";
+          }
+
+          # NEW: perltidy -pro=b984.pro
+          unless (
+                    exists $self->{
+                              'accession_number'} )
+          {       return "unknown";
+          }
+
+Both look OK, but the OLD version did not outdent the keyword 'return'
+as requested with the -okw flag.
+
+This update fixes cases b149 b888 b984 b985 b986 b987.
