Description of problem: file name completion in shell-mode doesn't find files larger than 2GB Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xemacs-21.5.29-9.fc12.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start plain xemacs with "xemacs -nw -vanilla" 2. type M-x shell 3. cd to directory with "largefile" where "largefile" is larger than 2GB 4. issue ls and check that largefile is indeed in that directory 5. type ls la<TAB> and XEmacs claims "No completions of la" Actual results: No file name completion Expected results: File name completion Additional info:
Are you on a 32-bit system? You set "Platform" as "All", which I don't believe is correct. I did this on my 64-bit system: $ cd /tmp $ dd if=/dev/zero of=sparse-file bs=1 count=1 seek=3G Then I followed your recipe above, and XEmacs did complete on "sp<TAB>". If you are, in fact, on a 32-bit system, then I believe you are a victim of the small size of most-positive-fixnum. In short, this isn't a bug, it's a feature.
I'm on a 32-bit system, yes, and why is this a fixture as shell completion works fine outside of XEmacs?
