To those of you who provided links to work-around scripts etc., thank
you for your help. If any of you are having trouble with large files
I'd recommend doing what I _didn't_ do: make sure you're using the most
recent version of vim before looking for other solutions. You may not
need to reduce vim's capabilities in order to work with large files,
either!
Cheers,

That, my dear Max, is golden advice indeed, and not only with Vim: if you have
a problem with some software, indeed any problem with any software, try to
reproduce your problem using the latest available version of that software
(the latest one which doesn't break your system of course). You shouldn't come
out worse off for installing it, and, who knows? maybe your problem was solved
by one of the intervening bugfixes. This advice is particularly worth while
for fast-moving software such as, among others, Vim.
Best regards,
Tony.
