<> A colleague is having difficulty running emacs on large (~10Mbyte) files. Is there a known bug in 18.54 which causes bizzare cursor movement and core dumps? Are we being naive in assuming that emacs should work on a file of this size? An additional manifestation of the bug is if you, say, search down to near the middle of this big file, the status line still says (Top). If you try to do a Meta-X > to get to the bottom of the file, you find yourself at the top instead. pertinent info: Sun 4 X windows (but it does similar stuff when run outside of X) 18.54.2 Jim D. jimd@gold.gvg.tek.com
