emacs got stuck when it opens a file having one long line (~60K)

emacs got stuck when it opens a file having one long line (~60K)

[Kiwon Um]

Hello. I found a problem with emacs.

When I open a file having one long line about 60K, emacs gets stuck so
I should quit forcefully. I tested with "emacs -Q ", but same problem.
For comparison, I tested this on vim, and it could open it.
My emacs is GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i586-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
2.12.9).

What would be a cue for this problem?
Any advice?
Thanks.

I tried the following:

   emacs -Q
   C-u 60000 x

Then I moved the cursor around etc.  There seemed to be no "sticking" or
even any slowdown.  I tried with both 22.2.1 and the CVS trunk version.

Can you provide an exact test case?  Do you have an unusually slow computer?

Thanks,

-Miles

I tried to open a smi file, movie subtitle file, encoded in cp949. Let
me send the file to your email.
My computer is fast one, Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 2.4GHz over 2G Memory.
Please check the file. Thanks :)

Hmm, I tried your file, and had no obvious problem with it either...
Both display and cursor movement seemed accurate and fast.

When did it get "stuck"?  Could it display the file contents initially?
Could you move around the buffer at all (e.g., did it only stick once
you moved onto the long line)?

Thanks,

Hmm.... No I couldn't. The emacs process "completely" gets stuck. No
displaying. Any commands do not work at all. So I should kill it
"forcefully", using like killall command on shell. Strange....
Let me test more. Thanks... :)
