In my version of GNU Emacs 21.3.50 (the developer version of > 21.4) it is 2^28 - 1 ... I made a mistake, mine is 134,217,727 too. I was trying exponents of 2 which is wrong! I'm using GNU Emacs 21.3, in this version of Emacs there is no variable called "most-positive-fixnum" loaded by default. This variable is in the CL package.
