Description: When viewing files in windows 7 that are symbolically linked the buffer cuts the file at 2^16 bytes of information. To reproduce: - Create or find a text-file that has content of more than 65536 bytes of data. - Link that file to a different place in your filesystem > set dest_folder=%HOMEPATH%\temp1\ > set src_folder=%HOMEPATH%\temp2\ > MKLINK "%dest_folder%\init.org" "%src_folder%\.emacs.d\init.org" - Open the linked file in emacs. - Go to the last point in the buffer containing the file. - Observe the position of POINT (M-x = ) - Do the same with the original file and observe the position of POINT at the end of buffer. Obtained result: The position of point in the linked buffer is 65536 while the point is higher when opening the non-linked file. I.e. the whole file is not visible in the buffer for the linked file Expected result: The position of point is the same in both buffers. Environmental parameters: - GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2012-08-29 on MARVIN - Windows 7 32bits & 64bits
