<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=GB18030"><https: emacs.stackexchange.com="" questions="" 76363="">:

I Lauched Emacs by `emacs -Q`, then

1. if I use&nbsp;`most-positive-fixnum`:

    ```
    (lossage-size most-positive-fixnum)
    ```

    Emacs will emitted:&nbsp;"Value must be &gt;= 100"&nbsp;in&nbsp;echo area.

2. if I use a modest number:

    ```
    (lossage-size (/ most-positive-fixnum 10))
    ```

    Emacs will crash immediately because of the large memory usage.
