I've run into a similar situation.  The main difference is that rather
than a shell buffer, I copy stuff over to a buffer running REFINE,
which is a system built with Franz's Allegro Common Lisp.

I haven't verified or confirmed whether 895 is a magic number, but
that looks about right.

My configuration is Sun4/IPC (Sunos 4.1.1), GNU Emacs 18.57 (with
HAVE_X_WINDOWS X11 HAVE_X_MENU).
