copyright.el doesn't respect newlines

[Tom Tromey]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:


M-x copyright-update doesn't respect newlines.
Put this text into a new buffer:

/* Fold a constant sub-tree into a single node for C-compiler
   Copyright (C) 1987, 1988, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998,
   1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
   
Now try M-x copyright-update.  It will insert `2002' after `1998'.
I think it shouldn't do this, as 2002 is already on the list.
