Thanks again. I do note one behaviour change though, which is
perhaps worth noting.
Previously this segfaulted:
$ perl -e 'print "," x ( 1024 * 1024 * 12);' > t.el
$ /tmp/emacs/bin/emacs -Q --batch --script ./t.el
Now it does not, as the bug is fixed, but I'd expect the
emacs process to terminate when the script is loaded.
That doesn't happen though:
$ /tmp/emacs/bin/emacs -Q --batch --script ./t.el
Re-entering top level after C stack overflow
[emacs still running]
Compare that with the normal example:
$ echo "(defun foo() "Test")" > t.el
$ /tmp/emacs/bin/emacs -Q --batch --script ./t.el
$
Perhaps not a huge problem, but it is a change I think?
