- I have seen the problem also and reported it to DEC. They know that it's a
- problem, but they haven't fixed it yet. It seems to happen most for us when we
- recall a line that had a # in it (file name usually). It's also happened on
- lines that have an ; in them.
- We just try to avoid these, until they can provide a fix.
