I know of only one failure case (reported by you, IIRC): in text
containing no spaces like Japanese, extra spaces might be inserted in
some circumstances. Longlines does exactly the same thing here as
auto-fill-mode.
As far as I know, no one else has reported that problem. But I'll take
another look at it.
