I have forgotten that :
in my problem, file is build with very long lines (frequently 500  
bytes) on Mac Intosh. There are very important difference between  
logical lines (in file) and physical lines (in window).
the X-windows has not good position after execution my macro when two  
consecutive matches are very distant and require a refresh of the  
screen.

Quoting Glenn Morris <rgm <at> gnu.org>:
