Well, it's likely that I did this, changing into *shell* buffer and  
others...

Yes, exactly.

I have no proof that I did so, there is just some likelihood from time- 
stamps in tcsh's history...

Letting your computer on over night while GNU Emacs is compiling GCC  
4.2 (more than 10 h for me)...


With line-number-display-limit-width set to 62,500 it did not happen  
again to me, the longest compile job below 1 h, the longest line far  
below this value.
