Actually, there's a direct connection to EMACS_INT. That integer gives an upper bound on the length of the list FOUND. Emacs list lengths fit into EMACS_INT, not int, and variables that contain Emacs list lengths should therefore be of type EMACS_INT, not int. > this arg is *never* going to be that large It was in my example :-). In any case, the fix is trivial and safe.
