R devel - Jul 2000 - maketitle garbles the title in package nnet (PR#613)

The TITLE for the nnet package is garbled: it comes out as

nnet            Feed-forward neural networks and multinomial log-linear
nnet            Feed-forward neural networks and multinomial log-linear models

The problem is in maketitle:

which needs an AWK expert to debug.
