The behavior of the 'n' command appears to have recently

Um, this has been vi behavior since the beginning, AFAICT...I've
got an older version of nvi as well as vim6.2 (yes, I can hear
Tony complaining already ;-) and they both behave the same way:
search for X, do a :%s/Y/Z/ and then use n/N to search for the
next instance and it will attempt to search for Y (which may or
may not return results depending on whether you include the "g"
flag or if you include the search in the replacement) instead of
X. Same happens in "ed" for that matter (though instead of using
n/N, you use "/" or "?" to search and just hit <enter> to accept
the default).

:-) I know you were joking, but I'll answer seriously:
I'm not complaining. Keeping legacy versions side-by-side with the
latest and shiniest for comparison purposes is perfectly all right.
Where I'll "complain" is if someone barges in saying "I've found a bug
in Vim 6.2", or, as yesterday, "We need a written and notarized
assurance that Vim 6.3 supports Windows 7".
Best regards,
Tony.
