According to the info file:

	  "Auto Fill" mode is a minor mode in which lines are broken
	automatically when they become too wide.  Breaking happens only when
	you type a SPC or RET.

Unfortunately, this does not work for RET in 18.52.  When you hit RET while
in fill mode it does NOT make a break.

Repeat by (I just did, while in Mail Abbrev Fill):

	C-U (universal argument) 60 x SPC C-U (universal-argument) 60 x RET

and it doesn't fill.  Annoying when the last line of a paragraph ends in a
long word, and you double return to start a new paragraph.

This seems to be broken in 18.52, although it worked in 18.51.  It also
occurs in Fundamental Fill, Nroff Fill, and Text Fill (that's all I have
tested.)

C-H s (describe-syntax) says that C-@ .. SPC (which includes RET) are
whitespace.  I can't think of anything else non-standard that might have
brought this behavior on.
