I am trying this agan since I am note sure my original message ever
made it to the outside world.

This newsgroup just started appearing at our site. I have been
trying to send the following comment via e-mail. However, the
gnu-bugs address I am using seems to cause some problems. Anyway,
here is the comment.

To: bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu

I have noticed than when editing large files buffer positioning commands
do not always have the desired effect. For example going to the end of
the buffer ( via M-> ) leaves you right back at the start of the buffer.
Presumably this behavior is caused by the 24 bits of data / 8 bits of
tag used in elisp. Can anything be done about this problem? Did I
miss a relevant option in the build procedure? Thanks in advance
for any hints/suggestions/explanations.
