Yes they constantly add new "features" and settings.

Could also be my employer fiddling with the registry (it's a work environment)

I'm pretty sure I didn't see this happening in the past, but can't exclude the possibility that I changed something.

My guess is some heuristic to detect line-breaks fails and 72 spaces are added.

I'll also have a look into perl5db.pl later.
