- Subject: emacs and large-address awareness under recent snapshots
Starting with the 2011-07-21 snapshot, emacs doesn't work well with the
large-address-awareness flag set (under 64-bit Win7). As soon as emacs
is started, a *Warning* buffer is created with the following message:
Emergency (alloc): Warning: past 95% of memory limit
To reproduce, install emacs and do the following:
$ peflags --bigaddr=1 /usr/bin/emacs-nox.exe
$ emacs-nox.exe -Q
