One is 1mb, the other 17mb. I use 21.4.1 on Linux (FC6) there. There are definite good lines interspersed in between the junk. Are the good lines complete? Do they end with newlines? Do they start with newlines? At what kinds of points in the normal and valid sequence of input does the junk get inserted? I can also say that the last bogus file in that directory definitely was written long after the last emacs crash I've had. That doesn't surprise me, because we know that Emacs continued after writing the junk, and wrote more good lines.
