I just realized that it might be good to say a few more words.
This command will print a long list of increasing numbers, as it walks
the linked list of buffer markers and counts them. If it never ends,
you should be able to interrupt it with Ctrl-C, but please do let it
some serious time to run before you give up. In any case, please tell
the last number it prints.
Thanks.
