The other change I made (which may or may not have contributed to the

Interesting--I've never seen this behaviour (I definitely store
fields with linebreaks in strings).
Are you sure that it isn't your own framework that is generating
multiple <field> entries for this input case?
Interestingly the solr-ruby library would create multiple field
versions before I fixed the issue. A document like this:
{:id => 123, :text => "a newline\nin the middle"}
would require "text" to be multiValued. The reason was because the
magic under the covers looks at the field value objects and iterates
over them if they implement the #each method. String#each returns
each _line_ - *sigh* (going away in later versions of Ruby, thank
goodness).
melkink - are you using solr-ruby? If so, that bug has been fixed in
later versions ;)
