	Change this line in the perl submit-generic.pl script:

 BEFORE:             if ( /Notes\[\d+\]: COMMAND: (.*)/ )
  AFTER:             if ( /Notes.*: COMMAND: (.*)/ )

	The reason is the 'rush -ljf' report's Notes: field changed
	in a small way that affects this script, now printing:

        	Notes: line one
	        Notes: line two

	..instead of the old indexed format:

	        Notes[1]: line one
	        Notes[2]: line two

	That change should work for all versions of the -ljf report.
