This causes emacs to start opening the file using google chrome. In the task manager, i can see emacs' memory usage go up by about 5 megabytes each time a tab is opened. When it opens about 30 tabs, emacs is using 138 megabytes of memory, and it gives the error below.
the translation is something like this: "ShellExecute failed: Storage space insufficient to process this command"
My harddrive has enough storage space btw.
I was able to reproduce this bug 3 times. I ran emacs with -Q on windows 8.
Im using emacs version:
