After doing some searching on a large file, and doing just enough
modification to turn on the buffer changed flag, I attempt to save
the buffer to disk with ^X^S and get the following error:

Args out of range: -5464046, 1

It only occurs with this one particular (HUGE) file, always gives the
same numbers, and occurs both on X and Ascii terminals.  In the case
of X, the window refresh is sometimes damaged randomly.

The file has 80000+ records and an awk script reports the longest record
to be 1023 but methinks it got truncated by awk as that number is very
suspicious.  The file has 11313169 bytes.

This occurs only two platforms and versions:
    Sequent Symmetry (18.55.1)
    Convex (18.51.0)

Comments?  Anything particular I should look for?  Could a very very long
line ( > 1024 ) do this?  Is this a limitation?
