I don't know, I didn't write this.  I just hope it was intentional.

Why am I answering, then?

Because I am surprised to hear that TeX actually breaks expressions.  Does
it?  It certainly never did for my own work!  Are you using some packages
to do this or am I using packages that prevent breaking or does the 
computer just not like me???

seriously puzzled...
