I had a disturbing result on using emacs on our sites vms machine.
While editing a file about one megabyte in length, I started the query
replace, and after giving it the search and replace strings, I typed a
"!" to get the entire buffer processed. After this operation was
completed, I noticed that my records had been wrapped. That is, I had
a record length of about 1000 characters. After running the query
replace, my one line of 1000 characters had been transmutated into
say, 5 lines of 200 characters. I can supply the files if necessary.
