Journal (plugin)

I recently set up a new testbed becuase I wanted to start playing with moodle development.  I updated the latest code from the CVS and got this error when trying to view a newly added journal entry.  Anyone else run into this?

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_VARIABLE' or `'$'' in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/dev/moodle/mod/journal/view.php on line 48

It appears to me that the following change needs to be made, since empty() only checks variables.

  $tempintro = trim($journal->intro);
  if (!empty($tempintro))
//   if (!empty(trim($journal->intro))) {
  {
        print_simple_box( format_text($journal->intro,  $journal->introformat) , "center");
    }
