Oops. That's not good.... Is it reproducible?

OK. I've found another potential problem in the buffer
code, which I've fixed in CVS; alternatively, the diff is

--- buffer.c    13 Nov 2002 20:08:59 -0000      1.3

             newbuf[i] = B->buf[(B->get + i) % B->len];

(You'll notice that this is, in fact, the same bug as before but in a different
place. So I can't count.)
