My first reaction was, "that's not my code!", but git seems to disagree
with me.  So I'll go and blame it on being young and stupid in 2005.

Reading it, I also think it's probably buggy.

	echo -n "o" > state
 
would be interesting.  I think it'll fall in to the 'online' case.
While probably not that common, it's certainly unexpected.  I'll send a
patch to fix it up.
