In GNU Emacs 18.54.1 of Tue Aug 22 1989 on icule (usg-unix-v)

* M-x tabify sometimes changes a single space into a tab.  For
  example, this happens with the following line as region:

---------------------------------------->
1234567  ABCDEF
----------------------------------------<

  The first of the two spaces then becomes a tab.

* I think that tabify should replace spaces by tabs only when the
  operation strictly reduces the number of characters.
