I don't know about freemacs or other variants, but microemacs as maintained
by Dan Lawrence (v3.10 just announced) has free-real-memory as its filesize
limit.  In one experiment (repeatedly reinserting the delete buffer), when
it finally ran out of memory it crashed and burned rather than terminating
gracefully.  (This might be due to my own code hacking, and applies to an
older version, v3.9e.)

I can generally hit around 300K for all buffers, depending on TSR load etc.
