dabbrev-expand weirdness

[David Abrahams <dave@boostpro.com>]

while composing the following message, if I have point immediately after
"wait," and I hit `M-/' (dabbrev-expand), I get the expansion I expect,
but point ends up just after the "D" in my name, rather than immediately
following the expanded word.  This has been happening to me for quite a
long time, and I'm at a loss to explain it.  Ideas?
