The culprit may be memory troubles after Emacs exceeds its 8 MB virtual memory limit. You can increase this limit to 32MB with a two line addition to src/config.h. #define VALBITS 26 #define GCTYPEBITS 5 > Does anybody else experience this problem, and if so, how are > you working around it. Might upgrading to VM 5.32 help? Probably not.
