I noticed a UI "bug" in the filter progress dialog where the labels

Is that "exceeds one line of text because it word-wraps" or "exceeds 
one line of text because it contains newlines"?  The window title bar 
appears to have some odd character after "tcp " and before "and".

If it's because it contains newlines, perhaps we should replace 
newlines with spaces before handing the filter to the filter code.  
Newlines in filter strings cause other problems than misdisplaying and 
"this is an undisplayable character" glyphs, for example, having 
entered

        tcp and
        tcp
as a filter, I now have an entry in the "recent" file with just

	recent.display_filter: tcp and

which appeared to be causing

	** WARNING **: 
/Network/Servers/noether/homes/frodo/gharris/.ethereal/recent line 28: 
Incomplete preference

errors, and you can't put newlines into filters in the "cfilter" or 
"dfilter" files, either.
