I don't know?  It only happens when I invoke par, but then the only time I
use vim's filtering command is -with- par.  I'd have to look at the sin tax
for how par is called, and set up a very long line in a file to test it
with.  Maybe vim has trouble when it comes back in?

> Test your editor for line length. 

I may at that.  But in my experience, vim is far more tolerant than vi.  I
can edit binaries in vim that I couldn't with vi--something I used to have
to fire up EMACS to do.
