Here is a mail message I just received:


I've been trying to edit a 30 MB vector file in emacs.  Every time I
search for a location, find it, and then try to mark and copy a block,
it freaks out and wraps to the beginning of the document (or dies with a
segmentation fault).  Is there something different I should set in my
.emacs file for large files or did I find a bug?


As I remember, Version 18 has a buffer size limitation of 2^23
characters.  Is this limitation removed in Version 19?

Thanks,
