Since I am not the one who introduced, nor fixed, this bug in .DS, for now I can only venture a conjecture as to what happened. In order to make .EQ work with the broken .DS, a crude crutch had to be introduced that should compensate for the erroneously increased line length. Whatever kind soul fixed the .DS bug in 1.22.4 was unaware of the .EQ crutch and left it in. As a result, it continues shortening the line length. I have assmed you shouldn't mind if I forwarded your valu- able report to the mailing list.
