demacs crashes trying to load large (>1MB) text files

When I try to load large (>1MB) text files, such as Roget's Thesaurus
or calc's texinfo file, demacs crashes.  Am I doing something wrong,
or is it a problem with demacs?  BTW, Vernon Buerg's LIST program has
no trouble with these files at all.

One other thing: any solutions to demacs's file locking problems that
occur when you add the "-9" to SET TZ=CST-9???  The "-9" makes the
time correct but screws up something else.  This is mentioned in the
demacs FAQ, but I have seen statements here that imply the "-9" can be
made to work.

Thanks in advance.
