It starts one such window. The reason for this is so that "emacs -nw" can work with the same executable. > If anyone wants to repro this, here are the exact steps. I don't see what we can do. By telling the system that you want a 9999x9999 buffer for your command windows you are telling it to allocate almost 100Mb for every such window - maybe double that by the sounds of your report - but that is an issue with csrss.exe, not with Emacs. If you used a free operating system, you might be able to look at the source to see if you could change it to not allocate that memory until it was actually used. -- Jason Rumney _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
