Good to know, I've already corrected my scripts to use forward-line instead.

`next-line' in Emacs-23 was changed to use visual lines rather than logical 
lines, so its behavior depends on the shape of the selected window.  And 
indeed, the selected-window depends on the terminal (-batch uses a dummy 
terminal).
