If you ask `replace-regexp' to delete all occurances of `foo' that
appear at the beginning of a line, like this
	M-x replace-regexp RET ^foo RET RET
and if the buffer it's working on looks like this
	---------- Buffer: *scratch* ----------
	you
	foo
	foofoo
	do
	---------- Buffer: *scratch* ----------

then it will delete *both* occurances of `foo' on the third line,
since after it has deleted the first `foo' on that line, it now sees a
that the line contains nothing but the remaining `foo'.  This also
matches the regular expression, so it deletes it too.

Whether or not this behavior is desirable is debateable, but it is
pretty unexpected, at least to those of us with no experience with
Emacs.  The manual should point out that this happens, so that it
doesn't come as a surprise.  You might put the contents of this
letter, up to but not including this paragraph, into the manual to
explain.

Thanks.
