And up popped a buffer displaying a warning: "Almost out of memory... quit ASAP..."[2] i have seen some sort of warning once before too... the problem was that in both cases, i pressed SPC or something[1], and the buffer disappeared before i had read it.. Trying to C-x b to this buffer didn't help because the buffer no longer existed.. i suggest that when emacs wants to remove this buffer (like, when i pressed SPC)--- instead of removing this buffer, it be renamed to "*Warnings-old* buffer... so that one can access it again... [1] reminds you of a windows user who's too used to pressing 'ok', doesn't it? :) [2] on a related note, is there some frobbing i can do to stop this from happening---like increasing the memory available to emacs perhaps?
