I can confirm the general bug.  That's the second thing I noticed about the 
new wrapping code...  =:^(

I've started putting in a whole bunch of newlines, so when it wraps and fails 
to add a newline, it just eats up an extra one I've added.  Then, when 
finished, I go back and delete the extras..

Of course, that doesn't fix the rout problem. =:^(
