Yeah, I've had no luck with it either.

Every so often there are discussions of going over to GNU indent
instead.  Presumably that would solve the portability problem.
The last time we tried it (which was a long time ago) it seemed
to have too many bugs and idiosyncrasies of its own, but it would
be worth a fresh round of experimenting IMHO.
