As evidence of the "black hole" mail situation between D.L. and I, I
submitted this fix originalls to 3.8e (actually I think the fix was
different, but the problem was the same).

                         Overwrite mode problem

  When in overwrite mode, the is a problem with repeat counts. If I type
	"^U10x"
instead of changing the first ten characters to x's, I change the first
to an x, and then insert the next nine x's before what was the 2nd
character on the line. This is a suggested fix.
