Looks like I'm having problems with the emacs 19.31 port.  On Sparc,
the word wrap works flawlessly, but on FreeBSD it will not.
Specifically, it will look like it doesn't wrape the word and it will
hang out on the end.  A refresh of the screen will clear up the
problem, for the moment, but it will keep happening (it has happened
four times since I started typing this letter).

Has anybody else compiled emacs 19.31 on a -current system with the
stock gcc compiler (the 2.6.3 one)?  Is anybody else seeing this
problem?  I'm also having problems with Java mode on FreeBSD, but not
on Sparc.

Emacs 19.30 seems to not have these problems, but that isn't the
official port version.

To recreate the problem:
	ESC 7 2 C-x f M-x auto-fill-mode E m a c s SPC 1 9 . 3 0 SPC
	s e e m s SPC t o SPC n o t SPC h a v e SPC t h e s e SPC
	p r o b l e m s , SPC b u t SPC t h a t SPC i s n ' t SPC
	t h e SPC o f f i c i a l SPC p o r t C-l

when you hit ^L at the end there, you will notice 'official port' jump
from the previous line down to the next line.

This happens in the X display *AND* in the ASCII display modes of
emacs.

I'm off to try to compile things without -O and the like, but was hoping
to have someone tell me "Oh, yeah, I saw that and needed to mumble blah
to get it to work."  Or even "used 2.7.2 and it worked fine if I ferkel
flewed it."
