According to the Oxford English dictionary, the original spelling
(straight forward) is correct.  See point 3 of the link below.

Sorry, can't access that without coughing up $300, so it's not gonna
happen. :-) But M-W doesn't mention that spelling or recognizes it when
offered. See:

http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=straightforward
http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=straight+forward

But I don't want to turn this into a dictionary or language flame, so I'll
let you decide. (like I have a choice anyway. :-) )

Actually they have a free web dictionary, that's where the link pointed
to :-)

This is probably a matter of American English vs. English English again,
I'm note quite sure.  I'll leave it as it is for now, as both versions
are acceptable.

Thanks for the patch anyway :-)

OK. One thing, though: The s/dirver/driver/ that happened on the same line 
in 1.33 wasn't MFC'd. (Saw it as I added that to my local patches. :-) ) 
Lemme know if you want another change request.
