For this test I have the $chntot and $incrsdel set so no 'c's will be removed.

This line: caaaaaaayyyyyccyyyyyyyyycyyyyyycycyyyyycyyyyyyyyccyyyyyyyyyycyycyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyycyyycyyyyycyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyycyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyxxxxx
should have 15 'c's and 4 'a's.

This line: caaaayyyyyyyyccyyyyyyyyycyyyyyycycyyyyycyyyyyyyyccyyyyyyyyyycyycyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyycyyycyyyyycyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyycyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyxxxxx
should have 15 'c's and no 'a's.

But the kicker is several lines above these two: caaaaaaaaaaaaccaaaaaaaaacaaaaaacacaaaaacaaaaaaaaccaaaaaaaaaacaacaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacaaacaaaaacaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyxxxxx
all the 'y's in a row rather than randomly placed.
