Okay.  With my whitespace-eating changes applied, though,
justifying the first paragraph produces the second,
justifying the second paragraph eats the space after the
period, and if enough a's are removed from the end of the
second line to make the justified result fit on one line,
the resulting line is

foo. aaaa[however many a's are left]

This case shows that, with my changes, justification can
modify an already justified line, which, now that I think
about it, probably shouldn't be allowed.

Mostly, as it also is with my changes.  However, the above case is enough of a 
problem that I'm reverting them for
now.  Thanks for finding it, though.
