Greetings,

This message concerns a "bug" in the latest version of Emacs (as well as all
previous ones). I find myself restricted with the current maximum-buffer
limit of GNU Emacs. Trying to edit a 264MB text file (data from a geophysics
simulation) is impossible without first splitting same file into multiple
pieces and later rejoining them. I'm aware that this limitation stems from
an inherent restriction of elisp, but I kindly request an ugly (or elegant,
if possible) hack for future versions of Emacs. Both vim and nano don't seem
to have such a low file-size restriction, and I've heard XEmacs can handle
text files up to 1GB in size. As much as I love working with GNU Emacs, I
really don't want to have to learn the arcane commands of vim to work with
files of such magnitude.

Thank you GNU.
