I'm getting the error message > "Maximum buffer size exceeded". Thank you for your report. However, it lacks crucial info, because you didn't use "M-x report-emacs-bug RET" to submit it. Please do that (and do it from the same version of Emacs where you get the error message), so that important aspects of your system and Emacs configuration will be reported and considered in resolving this problem. Next, please type "file `which emacs`" at the shell prompt on that machine, and tell what this command displays. Also, please type "M-: most-positive-fixnum RET" inside Emacs, and tell what it displays.
