When viewing files in windows 7 that are symbolically linked the buffer cuts the file at 2^16 bytes of information.
To reproduce:
- Create or find a text-file that has content of more than 65536 bytes of data.
- Link that file to a different place in your filesystem
> set dest_folder=%HOMEPATH%\temp1\
> set src_folder=%HOMEPATH%\temp2\
- Open the linked file in emacs.
- Go to the last point in the buffer containing the file.
- Observe the position of POINT (M-x = )
- Do the same with the original file and observe the position of POINT at the end of buffer.
Obtained result:
The position of point in the linked buffer is 65536 while the point is higher when opening the non-linked file.
I.e. the whole file is not visible in the buffer for the linked file
Expected result:
The position of point is the same in both buffers.
