>Description:
Gnatsweb submits a new PR to gnatsd with the SUBM command.
SUBM will accept almost anything as contents of aPR, and it
certainly doesn't check field contents. This is to some
extent done by Gnatsweb for enumerated-in-file fields, but
not for text fields with matching regexps.

This implies that you can create a PR that will be rejected
with an invalid text field the first time you edit it, even
though you didn't change the text field (but something else).

Fix included (that also removes a superfluous newline).
