[texhax] Problem with fancyvrb.sty -- if firstline = lastline, all remaining lines are printed.

[Niall Mansfield]

A colleague helped me work out a solution for this.  The patch
is shown below.

This package isn't maintained any more, so I don't know how
to get it into the official distributions.  Therefore I have made
the patch available online at:
	http://www.uit.co.uk/latex/fancyvrb.sty.patch
and the modified version of the .sty file at:
	http://www.uit.co.uk/latex/fancyvrb.sty
