I don't think so. These settings are supposed to be expressed in kilobytes, so the values you give above would be on the close order of 9 petabytes, which seems a little too big compared to the memory size usually available on today's computers. Try adding the following to your vimrc: " make sure the memory sizes are set to a "reasonable" value " but allow an explicit setting up to 2½ times our default if &maxmem > 5000000 set maxmem=2000000 endif if &maxmemtot > 5000000 set maxmem=2000000 endif Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
