bug#10733: 24.0.93; w32 file truncation

["Ota, Takaaki" <Takaaki.Ota@am.sony.com>]

Yes, I can do that.

1. Have a text file that has more than 65375 characters.  Let's call
   this text file test.txt.

2. Run cmd.exe and change directory to where test.txt is located.

3. Then execute the next command in the cmd.

  mklink link.txt test.txt

4. Now run emacs as "emacs -Q link.txt" and do M-> (end-of-buffer).

5. Find that you are not seeing the end of the file but somewhere
   around 65375 character location and the rest of the file is not
   visible.
