I think that would be being very optimistic. There's a definite problem
here. Maybe it only hits 32-bit systems, or only Windows systems. But
...
It screams out "Finsert_file_contents" to me. Maybe you've thought of
this yourself already, but the next time you need to revert a file
because of this, why not put a breakpoint at the start of that function
and eyeball all the clever manipulation it does with markers. Or
something like that.
But there haven't been any recent changes to Finsert_file_contents in
the emacs-27 branch. Maybe there's been a recent change to something it
depends on.
I'm not sure how helpful this will be, but I thought I'd say it anyhow.
