You might want to include a snippet of what the file actually looks
like after your changes, including a few of the surrounding lines -
there may be an indentation problem depending on what precisely you
commented out.  Make sure that your new line is at the same
indentation level as the surrounding lines (and to be safe only use
spaces, don't try to mix in tabs).
