Bidi magic.  Your entire humongous 1,600,000-character line is
enclosed in {..} braces, which triggers the paired brackets resolution
part of the new UBA defined by Unicode 6.3 and implemented on master.
It needs a lot of memory for such a long line.

I will soon push a fix for that.

Does it lock, or does it just take it a VERY long time to redisplay?
Do you still see the calls to memory_full?
