But when you then start Emacs you get the following difficult to miss warning on your startup screen: Warning Warning Pure space overflow Warning Warning There is a special function `check_pure_size' to print a warning. I tried to add it to this condition, but calling it directly from this condition prints warning messages too often, because when GC can't be done, Fgarbage_collect gets called repeatedly. Showing it at startup should be sufficient for people to notice. They noticed it this time: the bug got reported on emacs-pretest-bug. Sincerely, Luc.
