Subject: 24.3.50; `fill-paragraph' should not always put the buffer as modified
Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2013 23:09:35 +0100

Recipe from "emacs -Q":

1. Visit some plain text file.
2. Move point to some paragraph with more that one line.
3. M-q C-x C-s
4. M-q

After step #3, the buffer is not modified wrt its file (you've just
save it), but step #4 puts the buffer in a modified state ("**" flag
in the modeline).

This seems a bug, since step #4 didn't make any change in the buffer
contents (the paragraph was already filled).
