Hello,
I just noticed something that made me doubt my own sanity: With Emacs
27.1 (from Debian stable running Debian’s Linux kernel
6.0.0-0.deb11.6-amd64) the command
emacs -q -nw /proc/cpuinfo
reproducibly opens cpuinfo only up to a portion of line 272, while the
entire file is 560 lines long on that machine. I checked on a different
machine (with same Emacs), and I see the same behavior.
C-u C-x = tells that the file is read up to position 16384 (= 2^14).
Running M-x revert-buffer loads the whole file...
Is/was this a known issue? I could not find anything on the web.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I’m willing to investigate this further, but it would seem very strange
if Emacs indeed had a bug that prevented it from loading some files
entirely. Perhaps someone here knows the answer.
Thanks
Christoph
