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.
