These bugs have nothing to do with VM.  They are Emacs bugs.

The large folder induced crashes are usually becasue of the 8MB
virtual memory limit that is the default in the out of the box
Emacs.  I suggest compiling Emacs to have a 32MB limit.  I've
done it, and I'm able to have all day Emacs sessions again.  It's
a simple matter of adding a couple of #defines to src/config.h.

The I/O bug is stimulated with large folders because large
folders take longer to write to disk, hence a larger window for
an interrupt to occur.  Again not a VM problem.

I have been recommending all along that people not use VM with
large folders.  I'd like to take this opportunity to say "I TOLD
YOU SO." :-)
