Emacs adds extra lines when pasting whenever a # is found.

Emacs adds extra lines when pasting whenever a # is found.

Hi

I have a strange problem I cannot solve:

- I have two XTERMS open
- I run xterms run on either the same host or different hosts
- in both xterms I run emacs
- in both emacs I have the same source files open: bash or php or etc
- if I copy text in one emacs then paste it into the other emacs it ADDS 
an extra line whenever a '#' is found
- its annoying

I have searched the Internet, I haven't found a solution yet.

I am in the midst creating a new mail server.
When I copy/paste between two different hosts both having emacs editing 
a sendmail.mc file it does not happen.
It quite happily pastes into the new sendmail.mc without adding extra 
lines as a comment in sendmail.mc is preceeded by a 'dnl'.


Anybody got any ideas how I can stop the PASTING emacs adding extra line 
whenever a # is found?

Thanks

Does this happen in "emacs -Q"?  If not, one of your customizations is
the culprit.
