I tried it just now, using the output I got from C-h a file RET (which is not necessarily the same as the output you got when you ran it--you really ought to send the *precise text* to try this on). It ran out of memory before completing 50 flips, because the buffer-undo-list of the *flip* buffer got very big, but it did not report any failures before that. If you turn off undo in the *flip* buffer, does the problem still happen for you? If so, I could try it that way and avoid running out of memory.
