VIM Developers-
One of the engineers in our lab found this one, and even wrote up a
simple test case. Apparently, some change was introduced in VIM 7.0
that changes the behavior of the 'ex' command.I wasn't able to
quickly find a VIM bugtracker, so if there is one, please point me
there so I

This patch seems to be the cause of the behavior we're seeing. Can
someone (VIMBOSS?) more familiar with this comment on this behavior,
and if it correct for ex?

Thanks for the replies and the insight into folk's focus on bug
smashing for 7.3. Perhaps this will be of interest to that effort:
I got this hint from another source: Apparently in FreeBSD, VIM 7.2
with a select set of patches manages to get the behavior correct:
Does not occur in:
VIM -
I managed to miss this posting until now, so I'm only 45 or so days
late. I appreciate that you kept this request in the queue and
worked on it after the release of 7.3!
I've tried this with VIM (EX) 7.3.62, and it still produces a
different result than the 6.3 version we're running on RHEL4.
Any further thoughts on this behavior bug?

Bram, et al-
The main complaint here is that the current versions of vim/ex (7.x) crushes
the \ (Backslash newline) to a , which is shown as a "^@" in
the output of cat -tvse.
Our reference 'ex' version is from HP-UX 11.x. The output of VIM 6.3 and
the reverence vi agree, but from VIM 7.0 on,

OK, I never noticed this before, but apparently we're running VIM 5.8 on our
HP-UX boxes.
