I'm using epoch 4.0p2 with ange-ftp and crypt.el on a Mips running
Riscos 4.0, and keep getting messages `maximum buffer size exceeded'
-- even on operations that shouldn't need a buffer (such as saving a
non-compressed, non-encrypted file to a local directory).

Can anyone help me work out why it's happening?

With this configuration, I also often find myself running out of
memory.  Maximum up time is around 5 hours, before I get the `memory
exhausted' messages.  Sometimes, depending on what I'm doing, it could
be a lot sooner.

You may have some luck changing VALBITS to 26 and GCTYPEBITS to 5 
(probably in your config.h).

If this makes no difference, let me know; I may be confused on this
particular issue (or on any other issue, for that matter :-).

I've gotten this message when I run out of swap space.  I've run out
of swap space just by looking at a number of large files, even if I
close some of them before I move on.  I betcha you are out of swap
space when you get that message.

Apparently emacs18 doesn't reclaim memory alloc'd for buffers or
something like that, so browsing through big files can make emacs a
memory hog.  Someone who knows precisely might post a more complete
answer.
