The Old-files problem (re the change to CR) is indeed completely solved
this way, except for the overly-long symbol which was PRINTed out with
vertical-bars.  Frankly, I don't believe there are any such symbols in
existing files.
-------------------------------------------
Sorry to belabor this issue, but for the record some MACSYMA save files 
contain exactly such symbols.  That's how quoted-strings are implemented 
in MACSYMA.  That's one of the reasons I've been raising a ruckus about 
this issue and requesting some sort of transitional period.  To cut down 
on lossage.
