query-replace's recursive edit: switched buffers and got lost

[Dan Jacobson]

Start a query-replace.  Enter recursive edit with C-r. Now switch
buffers several times, enough that you forgot just what buffer you
were doing the query-replace in.

OK, maybe a C-M-c will get me back to my query-replacing job.  It
does, apparently, but forgets to put me back in the buffer
concerned!!!  This is like driving a car while looking out the wrong
window!  OK, quick, hit C-r again and try to look for clues as to just
what buffer we were doing the query-replacing in ... hmmm... there
are no clues to be found.  Tried looking in the buffer list, etc.
