It's not pulling it out of nowhere, silly! =) The last entry is stored in
the # program. (The ! might also have something to do with it, not sure).
Your search was unsuccessful because it is tokenized... The last entry can
be as big as you want, and it is stored in a program for that reason. The
previous entries can only be so big as they are stored in the buffer.
