Does someone has encountered this bug/problem too, or knows how to remove that bug.. I didn't have this problem with a file of about 220K (6000 lines). But I hit a severe bug! I wanted to indent the whole text by using ">G" and stevie (v3.91) bombed at me! I checked the command on a small file and it worked! Conclusion: stevie does indenting via the yank-buffer, but is failing to see the overflow! In other situations (e.g. deleting a huge block), I get a question yank-buffer exceeded, confirm? and that's it. When indenting I didn't get this message but two bombs instead. Please correct it asap! Another implementation of vi did a nice trick: It checked a flag whether the file has been changed since loading. As it wasn't, it re-loaded the textfile with indenting... It had trouble when saving the result onto another filename. It told me the disk was full (It wasn't - I had about 1 meg free, and the program stopped after writing 90K). SIGH.
