This happened to me always by mistake and what happened today was the worst. Forgetting that I have copied large amount of text into the clipboard, I tried to paste it at the search prompt using ^R* and this caused Vim to hang for a very long time and pressing ^C had no effect. I remember that Vim used to crash when a large amount of text is pasted this way, but I think that problem is now fixed, though I think a better behavior is needed, e.g., - Stop and give error after reaching some limit - Detect ^C and stop.
