Emerge does not save newlines

After merging two buffers using emerge I found that the resulting
buffer when saved to a file did not contain newlines even thow the edit 
option was set
to require newlines.

Both predecessor edit sessions were also set to require newlines,
and in fact work fine on the VMS target.
