bug#405: Emacs 22.2.1 in X behaves improperly when run with low memory limits |

When run in an X window session and with low process memory limits, Emacs
fails to open and/or syntax highlight some files properly. To reproduce,
run:
bash --noprofile --norc
ulimit -d 10240
emacs
Open treeset-private.hpp [attached]
If things are still going smoothly, try turning on font-lock-mode. At
this point, I get the error 'Invalid regexp: "Regular expression too
big"'. If the ulimit is set to 8MB instead of 10MB, Emacs encounters this
error on startup while attempting to load the splash screen. I have
encountered similar errors while loading or highlighting this file with
memory limits up to at least 12MB, if not larger. Sometimes the file will
fail to load; sometimes it will load but be improperly highlighted; other
times it will load but nothing will be highlighted and the modified flag
will be set. Behavior is inconsistent; sometimes, simply reissuing the
open file command or toggling font-lock-mode will fix things. If you have
further questions about the bug, contact me at kketcham@cs.hmc.edu. Thank
you.
