Sometimes, while editing a ChangeLog file, one or several ^J disappear.

It could be related to doing other modifications to the ChangeLog
(reverting the buffer when there's outside changes while trying to
commit, for example), but so far there is no recipe to reproduce it.

The bug has been observed many times, and by at least two developers. It
seems to be confined to the Windows port.

As usual, a repeatable test case helps a lot more than a mysterious 
occurrence that a few people have seen but noone can explain.

And I've added "-done" to the bug-address Cc to close the bug report 
(and removed emacs-devel to cut down on the duplicates that end up on 
the list).
