XEmacs has global after-change-functions by default, ie. the functions
are run for each buffer.  I guess that's a little bit too often for
our purposes.

They're now buffer-local in the repl buffer.

I still think that the after-change-functions are quite an ugly way to
achieve something and should be replaced with something less intrusive.

Helmut.
