Thanks, 40 should be enough. There is a similar problem with `messages-buffer-max-lines' (`message-log-max') whose default value 100 is too small. Often while debugging a problem in `emacs -Q' it truncates lines in the *Messages* buffer, so I have to set it to a higher number and redo all tests from the beginning. Actually I see no reason to truncate *Messages* at all, but at least if it should be a number, please increase it to a number one order of magnitude higher (e.g. 1000) that won't cause frequent problems.
