Hi, with the latest precompiled pretest version for Windows (http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/emacs-23.0.92-bin-i386.zip), I got "!MEM FULL!" after doing some VC / PCL-CVS commands (viewing the revision log, diffs, ...) on rather big files. The repository is on a network share, i.e. no pserver, ssh, ... involved. As requested by Eli, I attach the information reported by Sysinternals' VMMap, both for the Emacs 23 process with "MEM FULL" and an Emacs 22.3 process on the same box. The laptop has 3 GB of memory.
