format_paragraph_event(): Patch 961387 introduced a bug here, causing

the indentation of a comment block to be ignored when reformatting the
block, leading to overly long reformatted lines (too wide by an amount
equal to the indentation width).  Looks like a typo in the original
patch, a 1-character repair.

+- When paragraph reformat width was made configurable, a bug was
+  introduced that caused reformatting of comment blocks to ignore how
+  far the block was indented, effectively adding the indentation width
+  to the reformat width.  This has been repaired, and the reformat
+  width is again a bound on the total width of reformatted lines.
