i have noticed that the output of one of my scripts contains extra newlines when run under 4.2.
This is a script that collects ALL_VIEWS.TEXT for a couple development schemas (600+ views) in a text file.
It produces 64k+ lines, and is a valid (if huge) script with comments and "create view xxx as ..." statements.
Under 4.2, the output is broken as an extra newline is sometimes added in the middle of a comment, introducing invalid statements.
The broken lines are not necessarily the longest ones, either.
i could not produce a simplified test case so far,but perhaps some users have observed this behaviour, too ?
On the bright side, i was using the output of that script to feed the formater,
and had not noticed the extra newlines which caused failures to format (invalid) code.
